We Are His People

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Psalm 100:1-5

Each of us is an original from God’s hand. There are no self-made men or women. No one ever became talented, buffed, or bright all by himself or herself. God made each of us all by Himself. He thought of us and formed us out of His unspeakable love.

God made your body, mind, and soul. He is not done with you. He is still making you. His single minded purpose is our maturity.

“(God’s) unfailing love continues forever and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” God has always loved you, and He will be faithful to you to the end.

You’ve been given a love that lasts forever and a God who will never give up on you. That’s a good reason to have joy and to “come before him with joyful songs.”

If you can’t carry a tune, just give Him a shout-out: “Shout for the joy to the Lord.”

Spiritual growth occurs when faith is cultivated.
