Psalm 100 - Things we can glean from Psalm 100

“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 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

This psalm really blessed me today. It is full of important things that we can learn. The first list of things that we are going to look at are things that God wants us to know:

1. He wants us to know that He is the Lord. It is He who is God.
2. He wants us to know that He made us, not we ourselves.
3. He wants us to know that we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4. He wants us to know that the He is good.
5. He wants us to know that His mercy is everlasting.
6. He wants us to know that His truth endures to all generations.

Hallelujah! The other list of things that we are going to look at are things that that we are encouraged to apply in our daily lives and walk with Him. It will not only bless us if we do these things, it will also bless Him!

1. We are to make a joyful shout to the Lord.
2. We are to serve the Lord with gladness.
3. We are to come before His presence with singing.
4. We are to enter into His gates with thanksgiving.
5. We are to enter into His courts with praise.
6. We are to be thankful to Him.
7. We are to bless His name.

Be encouraged today. Be glad for what you “know” as “facts” from the Word of God. Also, be glad for what you “can do” to truly worship Him in spirit and in truth. Serve the Lord with gladness. It’s the absolute best thing you can do.

Father, May we come before Your presence with singing. May we enter Your gates with thanksgiving, and Your courts with praise. May we bless Your name and be thankful to You. May we serve You with gladness. May we even make a joyful shout to You because this is what You deserve! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
