Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving

Beloved:

​

As believers, worship is what we do. Pastor Tim Keller said, “Worship is seeing God for what He’s worth and giving Him what He’s worth.” But how we approach our worship is just as important as that we worship. But what is the proper posture in which to approach God in worship? When reading Psalm100, the fourth verse, we do not have to guess as we are told what our worship should look like. 

First, our worship should include thanksgiving. The psalmist makes sure we do not miss it as he mentions it twice in this verse. Being mindful and grateful for who God is and what He has done in our lives brings our worship into perspective.

Secondly, we are told that God is due our praise. Recounting God’s goodness in our lives is a reminder of His love and care for us.

We can be thankful and sing God’s praises because unlike those in the Old Testament we are not limited to how close we can get to God based on our status. He allows us to go all the way in.

​

BE ENCOURAGED!
