Monday - Psalm 100 - Another Psalm 23


M
UCH like Psalm 23, Psalm 100 hardly needs commentary.  Just read it and reread it.  Memorize it. Meditate on it.  Quote it.  Sing it and then read it again and again.  What explanation is needed?  Every phrase is packed with meaning and clarity.  It's a Psalm that directs our attention upward toward our heavenly Father.

This is a song of joy and praise.  "Serve the Lord with gladness!" Not begrudgingly...  serve with gladness!  "Come before His presence with singing!"  How else should we come?  "Know Ye that the Lord He is God!"  Of course He is.  He alone is God.  He is God alone.  He made us. We did not make ourselves.  We did not evolve. We belong to Him.  We do not belong to ourselves.  We are dependent upon Him.  He who is endlessly good and merciful and true, deserves many great expressions of gratitude.

Let us go to Him now. Pick a good song to sing and sing it to Him now.  Bow your head and lift your hands and with gratitude, enter into His presence in worshipful prayer.  "Make a joyful noise unto the lord!"  What better way could we spend our energy and our time?  What cause could be nobler?
