Psalm 100

"Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness.
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has 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 to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations."

Look at the commands in this psalm:

Make a joyful noise.

Serve.

Come.

Know.

Enter.

Be thankful.

All these commands reflect a relationship. Spend time with God. Praise Him. Serve Him. Know Him.

Isn't that amazing that the God of the universe wants to know us on a personal basis?

He wants to commune with us.

He wants our fellowship.

Look at how the psalmist describes God:

He is our Creator.

He is our Shepherd.

He is good.

He is eternally merciful.

His truth is eternal.

He is far beyond what we could ever be.

Ye He wants us in His presence!
