Praise is a gate. Revelation 21:21. Gates of Zion are called praise. Made of pearl. A pearl is formed through irritation and conflict. When we are faced with conflict and become irritated and we praise the king without manipulation it means we are responding in a way that produces something beautiful. In that moment a gate is formed — a place of entrance where the king of glory can invade our situation. It’s where his presence is manifest and rests, it’s where he dwells.
