Stay In Faith Serving With Joy and Gladness In Our Heart!

In Psalm 100 God lays out how we are to come before Him saying; " Serve
the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing". As we
all can see God doesn't say if you can sing come to me singing, He said
to sing as you come to Me and even regardless of how your body or
emotionally you feel come happy, joyful, with out complaints just in
pure thanksgiving and content to be where we are as Christians who read
the bible we should know that He knows our needs, our pain, and He
constantly affirms to us how much He loves us and care for our needs
and wants.
He also tell us in Psalm 100:3 ; "know ( perceive,recognize,and
understand with approval ) that the Lord is God! It is He who made us
and not we ourselves ( and we are His )! We are His people and the
sheep of His pasture. " We are His for His pleasure,and as long as we
live thinking that we can solve all our problems or relying on other
humans we are always going to fail but if we do what God describe in
Psalm 100:4 as it reads; "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and thank
offerings and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say to Him,
bless and affectionately praising His name". It simply says that as we
walk into church His house, His court, enter smiling, praising,
thankful to be there and bringing more than just ourselves,bringing
offerings with affection and love in our hearts as we give praises to
His Holy name, our God Jehovah. And Psalm 100:5 finishes it off by
saying; " For the Lord is good, His mercy and loving-kindness are
everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endures to all generations".
How great of a promise as He is mighty but yet full of mercy and
loving-kindness, but above all He doesn't stop His blessings on us, He
continues that through generations and who can ask for more when we can
be sure that the result of our faithfully living will not only bless us
but our kids and their kids , kids.
So to remind us how much God loves us and how He has our every turn
planned for the best for us but even more for those we were made to
help find their own way, this verse really spoke to my heart and I'll
leave you my friends to decapitate every word in it and find the truth
that hides behind them for those who desperately seek and want; " For
we are God's ( own ) handiwork ( His workmanship ), recreated in Christ
Jesus, (born anew ). that we may do those good works which God
predestined ( planned beforehand ) for us ( taking paths which He
prepared ahead of time ), that we should walk in them ( living the good
life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live ), Ephesians
2:10.
I'm thankful for all the people God has brought to my life, for my
family, my two amazing sons Damian and Joshua, and all the trials I
been facing so that I can become the man I am today, so I go before You
my Father, my Creator, my Everlasting source of life in You I abide
with my all singing You praises and thanksgiving in my beloved and
adored Savior, Jesus Christ.
