Read Psalm 100 Thanksgiving

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you land! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing (Psalms 100:1-2)

Shout joyfully to the LORD. Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! (Psalms 100:1). For who He is - 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. The basis for which we do so is who God is Creator. The nations must recognize who the Lord is.

Serve the LORD with gladness. Serve the LORD with gladness; (Psalms 100:2a). The Israelites tested God with murmuring and complaining in the wilderness. Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. (Deuteronomy 28:47-48) We serve Him with gladness because the opportunity is given us. We do not serve with a slavish fear, under a spirit of bondage, in the oldness of the letter, but in the newness of the Spirit. We do so with spiritual joy and freedom of soul, as under the spirit of adoption; readily, willingly, cheerfully as our Lord takes delight in us.

Sing before the presence of the LORD with thanksgiving. (Psalms 100:2b, 5) Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever...Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (Psalms 118:1, 29) It keeps our focus on the Lord. Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. (Psalms

The goal that we might know and acknowledge Him to be God, as our Creator. His Covenanted people and sheep of His pasture

Prayer: Lord, You are rejoicing over me and thus my rejoicing in response to You. I am created to praise You and that through my being in worship or service let me be a praise to You.
