Psalm 100 is a call to praise God as a response to God’s covenantal faithfulness. The call to praise is a recognition of God’s steadfast character and an acknowledgement of God’s loyal love.
Psalm 100 is also an exhortation to God’s people to express gratitude to God. Each one of us can be thankful about something today. We can be thankful to be alive. We can be thankful for food or shelter. We can be thankful to see, hear, or talk. We can be thankful for our friends and family.
Let us take time to be thankful today. Let us consider the magnitude of God’s love for us. Let us remember the joy of our salvation. Let’s make a joyful shout to the Lord today. Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving and into God’s courts with praise.
