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 100:4-5 NIV
I'm going to try to memorise v5.
Burn it into my mind.
Why?
Because it's the reason we have v4, the opportunity and the ability to come into the presence of God with praise (not fear, not worry that we're not good enough,  clean enough, worthy enough), with praise & thankfulness.
It's because He is Good
Even when I don't feel it.
His Love Endures Forever
Even when my circumstances are tough
He is Faithful
Even when there is evil in the world
Enter His gates, come into His courts...imagine going to Buckingham Palace or the White House, places of great wealth, power, majesty...we carry that with us, and more so when we meet together...so if you can, get to church today and worship with thanks.
Because.
He is Good

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
