Recognizing the Master's majesty

Greetings:
Psalm 100 is a beautiful reminder of God's majesty for which we owe Him much honor and praise.
The passage reads: “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”
We thank for who God is and from God flow all blessings.
The goodness of The Lord is that attribute of God that allows us sinners to have an opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved.
The goodness of God is what preserves each of every day.
Though we have sinned against the Lord, the goodness of God is what gives us food, water and a roof over our heads.
God's goodness can be seen in the eyes of a small child.
God's goodness is seen in the beauty of farm fields, gardens, forests, lakes, and wetlands.
God's goodness is seen in a sunrise and a sunset.
God's goodness is seen when it rains, even when it storms.
God's goodness is the common blessings that we all have and too often take for granted.
Thinking about the goodness of God affords us the opportunity to return thanks to Him in the form of praise and worship.
The psalm doesn't say we have to be a great singer or even be able to carry much a tune at all. The psalm doesn't say our praise and worship has to be confined inside the walls of the church.
We are simply asked to come to worship The Lord with gladness in our hearts and joy on our lips for this is the day that the Lord has made.
Be blessed.
