Let's look at Psalm 100:
A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!
3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!
5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
I truly believe that we, as born again believers, as the Body of Christ and as the Church, are to LIVE this Psalm out each and every day! We should be "making a joyful noise", the Hebrew word "ruwa`", which means to split the ears with sound, to shout!. We should be serving Him with gladness, and this will show on our face! We should be coming into His presence with singing, all during the day and every day! We should be knowing (perceiving, recognizing and understanding) that OUR God IS God! HE made us. HE saved us. WE belong to HIM and He loves, cares for, provides for, watches out for and protects us with everything that is within Him! We need to realize this from His Word and then live life like we really believe it! We need to be aware of His presence IN US continually and to spend much time thanking, praising and adoring HIM! We need to be telling the world about our wonderful God and inviting THEM to know HIM! Why? Because HE IS, and He is GOOD! His Word is TRUTH and every promise in it! When WE understand and LIVE in Psalm 100, we will not need to argue with anyone about God, creation, stupid theories, worldly thoughts and ungodly opinions! His manifested presence in our lives will leave them all SPEECHLESS! Jesus did it and so can we! The choice is ours! Will YOU make it? Here is Hillsong Live with "Endless Light":
Shalom in Him!
