Psalm 100
A Call to Worship
At some point we've all received an invitation for something. This Psalm is an open ended invitation to worship. As I read this Psalm I couldn't help but hear the inviting voice of God calling us to enter into His presence. This isn't just any invitation though. It comes with instructions on how to enter - we are to enter into the Presence of the Lord singing of His love and praising His Name. He alone is worthy of our praise. I imagined approaching His Throne of Grace and entering His gates with thanksgiving, praise and joy. It brings me joy just thinking about it. I don't think this means we are to ignore situations that are going on in our lives, on the contrary, I think we are called to bring our tears - allowing God to reign in our lives through our worship. In verse 3 we are told that we belong to God - we get a glimpse of Him as our Shepherd. God is expecting us - we aren't coming to Him as strangers. We come to Him as Sons and Daughters and we are met with an enduring love that lasts forever - we can RSVP to this invitation at any time - as many times as we please. It is as endless as the love that is extended to us. Lord, I pray today we RSVP to Your call to worship. As we go into our day, I pray for all of us that we go with praise on our lips, singing of Your love and counting on Your faithfulness that continues through all generations.
