Thankful, Day Eighty-Six

Make a joyful shout 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.

Psalm 100, NKJV

What does this Psalm say about God?

First, that He is the LORD--which is the English translation of God's covenant-keeping name to the Hebrews. He is the one who is, I AM THAT I AM, everything we need Him to be whenever we need Him to be it.

Secondly, He is God. He is the highest of the high, the supreme of the supremes, greatest of the great. He is the one who is Almighty, most holy, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. And He is the one in control of all things.

He is our shepherd, who takes care of us and every possible way. He is provider, defender, protector, and guide.

He is good, He is merciful, and He is truth.

Thank you God, that you are all that I need, and everything I need you to be.

Thank you God, that you are in control, and that you are working all things according to your will.

Thank you God that you are taking care of me in every possible way.
