Be Thankful

Psalm 100

      

A Psalm for Thanksgiving.

               1      Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.

               2      Serve the LORD with gladness;

         Come before Him with joyful singing.

               3      Know that the LORD Himself 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 His gates with thanksgiving

         And His courts with praise.

         Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

               5      For the LORD is good;

         His lovingkindness is everlasting

         And His faithfulness to all generations.

Our Lord is most worthy of thanksgiving. In every circumstance we can can rejoice and be thankful because of who He is, what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do (cf. Ps. 90)! Even when things are difficult and don't make sense God is working, and that's all that matters. Our hope is in Him (Ps. 18)! As you meditate on this Psalm, take it at face value and glorify God.
