PSALM 100
- Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
- Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing.
- Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
- Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
- For the Lord is good; and His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
DEFINITIONS
Gates -c) an opening.
This is known as a Psalm of Praise. This shows us a little of the heart of the Lord. The whole theme behind Psalm 100 is happiness. He has a plan for us and that is to be happy. His plan is always for us and not Himself. So, what does He mean? He is full of love and joy, and we will be too.
If we come into His courts with thanksgiving in our heart, it is just the beginning. He knows that being with Him is the best gift ever. He is showing us the way. I have learned He does not want me to be sad. That is a signal that something is wrong. He is preparing us to be His temple and always with Him.
We start into His house by being thankful. If He dwells inside of us, then we must learn how to stay thankful. We also are to live in a state of praise. We should be singing His praises all the day long. He is so good and wonderful it is an easy thing to do. This is inviting Him to stick around. If He is always around, we will always be happy.
I got rid of all my Televison stuff. It was only causing me to be away from the Lord. It drained the Holy Spirit right out of me. I would spend all morning praying and would then watch TV. I could sense His presence so strong when I did not watch TV. But when I did it was just drops when before it would flow. Now there is so much more joy and peace. I don’t miss the TV at all. He lets me watch certain videos from on my laptop that keeps me in touch.
I used to have a lot of hurts from the past that caused so much pain. The pain would stop when I would watch TV. I knew that was Satan. The Lord used His songs to heal me over and over. Healing does not come from the Media. It comes from His presence. We need to live Psalm 100 daily. So much Victory!
