Proclamation:
“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 loves endures
forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:4-5 (NIV)
Explanation:
Most Bible scholars agree that the words
of this psalm were written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit
of God. Believers are encouraged to
shout and make a joyful noise unto The Lord. (Psalm 100:1) He should be approached with reverence and
with a thankful heart. He is our maker
and our creator, and we belong to Him. (Psalm 100:3)
Application:
In addition to our private prayer and
praise, we are encouraged to publicly and loudly praise The Lord. We are also encouraged to worship Him gladly.
(Psalm 100:2) When we approach Him in
prayer, we should do so in a spirit of thanksgiving. When we enter His temple, we should do so
with praising Him on our mind and in our heart.
For He is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. He has shown us His goodness, His mercy, and
His grace and we should be grateful. (Psalm 100:5) He is the good shepherd who laid down His
life for His sheep. (John 10:11) His
love for us is eternal and we should love Him with all of our heart and soul. (Joshua
22:5)
