Today's Reading:
Psalm 100:1-3
"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". (vv. 1-3)
Indeed, we are the people of the LORD, and we did not make ourselves. The essence of this assertion is for us to know that our all in all is in Him, He knows the end from the beginning. A lot of us get devastated over virtually all the situations around us, that is, home, society, work place, even worship place. Our God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. There has never been any circumstance over every generation right from the inception of the earth that He has never proven to His children that He created them and not they created themselves and bailed them out of whatever circumstances they are faced with. Abraham faced a lot of things, and he praised the LORD at the end. Job, Hannah, King Hezekiah to mention just a few of them, all faced one thing or the other and they all rejoiced at the end, because they did not create themselves but believed in the creator who alone could remove from them evil things which He did not create with them.
Therefore, no matter what we are faced with, let us rejoice and praise GOD, for we did not make ourselves and at the same time we are the sheep of His pasture. For us to showcase His gladness as His people, Let us -
• Think back and see the good things He has done for us in the past.
• Make enquiry into our lives, to discover any form of inconsistency with divine order in our lives and amend.
• Come to His presence with a heart of expectation.
• Be glad and sing to Him always, for He is good and His mercy endures forever.
