Serve The Lord With Gladness

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 100: 1-5

We should be struck with wonder and worship. Our Lord was crucified in full public view, and He took it all for us.

He made us. We should be glad, joyful, and thankful for the fact that He made each one of us. As we remember who we are, we can respond with thanksgiving. For even in the worst of times, we can remember Christ’s love and sacrifice for us.

Don’t let the brutality of the world take away your thankful heart. Remember you are God’s child, and He has shown you His goodness and mercy through His work on the cross.

Praise comes naturally when you count your blessings.
