Psalm 100:1-6 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. 3 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.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.
This text is a call for all of creation to joyfully praise the Lord our God.
We are exhorted to sing praise to our God from the depth of our souls. A sound that is louder than the one you always do when you go to the sports game or when you watch your favorite game one on t.v.
In the words of my Pastor, Rev. Isaac J. Holt Jr. "If God had not awaken you this morning in your right mind, your shoes would have been put on your head instead of your feet."
WE HAVE A REASON TO GIVE GOD THE PRIASE!!!.
God has given us His recipe for pure praise and worship to Him from our heart. No other way is acceptable. Let's listen to God's ONLY acceptable way of praise and worship to Him.
What kind of praise are you offering to God? Are you willing to change the way you have been praising if you have not been following God's recipe He gave you in this text?
If you are not following God's recipe for true praise and worship to Him, why not?
How long will you halt between 2 opinions? God on Sunday and the world Monday through Saturday. How long?
Grateful praise! Is this what you are offering up to the Lord your God on today?
Remember, no other recipe is acceptable for true praise and worship to the Father than what He has written in His Word.
God bless.
