Sing and Serve Joyfully

O. T. #1315  "Sing and Serve Joyfully"
Oct. 29, 2018
Psalm 100-Part 2

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; for we are His people, and the sheep of His pastures.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:1-5

LET IT GLOW

From David's song, what do we learn about our God?
  • The LORD HE is God. Jehovah is God alone and is worthy of praise.  
  • He made us. God is our Creator. We did not evolve from monkeys. 
  • We are His people. Whether we are Gentile or Jewish blood, God chose us to be His child. 
  • We are the sheep of His pasture. He is our Good Shepherd. He leads and we follow. 
  • He is good. 
  • God is everlastingly merciful. 
  • His truth endures to all generations.              

Do you know our loving God?  He provides, protects, and guides His children. The best gift of all is Jesus, His Son.

LET IT GROW



What is David telling us believers to do?

  • Make a joyful noise unto the Lord  Whether it is a glad shout or a worshipful song of praise, everyone should do it  
  • Serve Him with gladness  With a sense of gratefulness we are to serve God in whatever we are doing. 
  • Come before His presence with singing. With lips of thanksgiving we are to sing from our heart. 
  • Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Together we worship the live of our heart. 
  • Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. 

Is there a theme here? David tells us to give thanks and sing praises unto our Merciful God. 
His truth endures to all generations. When we are gone from this world, it will remain.

LET IT GO
 
Sing, serve, and worship God with my heart of joy today.
Know beyond any doubt that the Lord is God.
Sing loudly praises to my Savior wherever I go.
