Worship The Lord With Gladness

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

Psalm 100 demonstrates an appreciation of God for who He is, not simply for what He does. The psalmist invites “all the earth” to “worship the Lord with gladness,” being confident in knowing “the Lord is God.” Our maker invites in His presence to “give thanks to him and praise his name.” Yes, the Lord remains worthy of our ongoing thankfulness because He “is good.” His “love endures forever,” and His “faithfulness continues through all generations.”

God will always be the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and our intimately loving Father. He deserves our genuine joy filled gratitude.

Who can you share God’s love with today?
