DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  PSALM 100  (A Psalm of praise.)

(1)  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
(2)  Serve the LORD with gladness:  come before his presence with singing.
(3)  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.
(4)  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:  be thankful unto him,  and bless his name.
(5)  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.


WE GIVE THANKS TO YOU, OH LORD! 

Brethren, this is the day that the LORD hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it..(Psalm 118:24); today, let us all show great happiness and appreciation for what the Lord hath done, doing and will continue do in our lives: let us do his will with feelings of pleasure in our hearts and worship him in the beauty of his holiness with hearts full of praises and adoration: for the LORD Almighty is our creator and we are his beloved children dwelling in his providential race;  let us be grateful for who he is and what he does in our lives everyday; come into his sanctuary with thankful hearts; express love and respect to our maker; honor and supplicate before him in appreciation for his goodness and mercies that endures forevermore.

Case in point,  praise is comely!  in the above psalm, the psalmist poured out his heart to the LORD of hosts in appreciation for who he is and encourage us to do the same; he says,  (i)  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands:  the psalmist is calling all nations of the earth to sing melodious songs loudly to the LORD of hosts;  (ii)  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing: that is, when we volunteer ourselves to serve the Lord, let us not grumble but serve him wholeheartedly with joy and be faithful to him;  (iii)  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:  we all know that the LORD of hosts is Almighty; the creator of all things; however, let us also beware that we belong to him and are children in his bosom and he takes good care of us all.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Points to ponder, therefore, (a)   Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:  be thankful unto him,  and bless his name;  that is, we are to appreciate him by appearing before him in the beauty of his holiness with gratefulness of hearts and praises of adoration;  (b) For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.  we all know that the LORD is good!  if not, today, let us ponder on these points; *we are able to wake up this morning alive and well; *we are able to move parts of our bodies and are in good health; *we are able to eat food and drink water etc.. though there may be major or minor setbacks in our lives, those are temporary ordeals brought on by the enemy to test our faith in the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; they will not last but will be blown away with wind very, very soon and we will dwell in peace everlasting.

Fruits of thoughts, dearly beloved, I just want to thank the LORD of hosts today and forevermore! for connecting us together in the faith of his righteousness, to share thoughts of the scriptures, wisdom from on high and inspirations by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit:  we are all in this together and will win the battle with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; I also appreciate all your thoughts, feedback and encouragements and am so grateful to know that Jesus is on our side along the journey of life unto life everlasting;  I could not have done this without you!  I thank the Lord for you all! May his Holy Name be praised forevermore.  Amen!


CONCLUSION:

Brethren, today, regardless of our circumstances; be ye good or bad;  let us praise and thank the LORD and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit; for trinity is working all things together for good, because we believe and trust in him;  let us love, care and encourage one another; for it is the will of the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
