Psalm 100 is a great Psalm for us to use when we want ideas of how to give thanks to the LORD. This post will focus on Psalm 100 verse 2.
Worship is a significant part of Thanksgiving.
- We can worship the Lord with singing.
Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. (Psalm 100:2 NLT)
Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! (Psalm 100:2 ESV)
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. (Psalm 100:2 NIV)
When we worship we should do it:
Cheerfully
Willingly
Happily
Gladly
- We can worship the Lord by serving others.
Serve the LORD with gladness!
In many Scripture passages, the original words for “worship” and “serve” are used interchangeably. We can also worship the LORD by serving others. We should look for ways to willingly, cheerfully, happily, and joyfully serve others during this holiday season, and throughout the year.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:35-40)
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come into his presence with singing!
Happy Thanksgiving
We will look at Psalm 100 verse 3 in a future post.
