The Book of Psalms Chapter 100 V- One thru Five

1 A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands; 2 serve the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful song. 3 Know that the LORD is God, he made us, we belong to him, we are his people, the flock he shepherds. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name; 5 good indeed is the LORD, His mercy endures forever, his faithfulness lasts through every generation.

Psalm 100 is a joyful call to worship, inviting all the earth to recognize and celebrate the greatness of God. The passage begins with an exhortation to "make a joyful noise" unto the Lord, emphasizing the importance of exuberant praise. This call is not limited to a specific group; it extends to all nations and peoples, embodying a universal invitation to acknowledge God's sovereignty and goodness.

In verses 2 and 3, the psalmist encourages worshipers to serve the Lord with gladness, highlighting the attitude with which one should approach God. Worship is portrayed not as a burdensome obligation but as a joyful expression of gratitude and reverence. The declaration that "the Lord is God" serves as a reminder of His ultimate authority and creative power. It asserts that God is not only the Creator but also the guiding Shepherd, who cares for His people.

Verse 4 offers an invitation to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. This imagery reflects the practices associated with the ancient temple, where worshipers would come into the presence of God. The emphasis on gratitude underscores the importance of recognizing and appreciating God's blessings in our lives.

Finally, verse 5 concludes the psalm with a proclamation of God's everlasting goodness and faithfulness. His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures through all generations. This reassurance serves as a foundation for believers, reminding them of God's unchanging nature amid the uncertainties of life.

Overall, Psalm 100 verses 1-5 encapsulate a spirit of joy, gratitude, and community in worship, encouraging all to celebrate the goodness of God and acknowledge His eternal faithfulness. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

10-21-2024 Psalm 100 V-0105

**His Faithfulness Lasts**

Make a joyful noise, let voices rise,

All the earth rejoices, beneath the skies.

With hearts united, we gather here,

To sing of God’s goodness, to hold Him dear.

Serve the Lord with gladness, our spirits bright,

In every act of love, His truth is our light.

For He is our Maker, our Shepherd, our King,

In His gentle embrace, our praises we bring.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving in song,

With gratitude flowing, where we all belong.

His courts are alive with the sound of our cheer,

For in His presence, we draw ever near.

The Lord is so good, His mercy won’t end,

Through all generations, our faithful Friend.

His love is unchanging, forever it stays,

In every moment, we lift up our praise.

So let every heart, both humble and bold,

Join in the chorus of blessings untold.

For God is our Savior, our joy, and our way,

In joyful thanksgiving, we honor each day. Amen.
