Fighting the Monday feeling
Martin Cole | 19 Mar 2012
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100
We need to be reminded regularly about who God is and what He does for us, because we’re so good at forgetting all about Him and His love. Whenever we remember and appreciate it, we’ll respond in a verse 4 way: we’ll praise and thank Him. David says it’s not just a good idea to praise God. It’s our duty — as He created us. And it should be our desire, too — as God chose us and looks after us. He’s the Good Shepherd.
