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 #sunday #w...

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. Psalm 100:1-3 NIV This is a call to worship. We're not great shouters here in NZ, but there's a call to worship out loud. Don't hold back There's a choosing here. Choose gladness Choose joyful songs Sometimes even if we don't feel full of joy, our circumstances are not great, we can still choose joy filled songs of praise. And then there's the "why". When we believe God. When we acknowledge Him as creator When we know we are His His people We belong Accepted Nothing can snatch us from His hand Safe Known by Him Important Loved Then we can find our voice :) #praiseloud #sunday #worship #thisisourGod #dearlyloved
