Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. “Psalms 100:4‘

We should give thanks and praise to God since He created us and shepherds us. It is a blessing to know that the Lord never changes. In today’s world, He is just as dependable as He was when He rescued the Hebrews from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. Our Lord also bestows blessings on us every day. Even difficult circumstances can be met with thanksgiving.

This song of thanksgiving was written during the reign of David. Worshippers of Israel would process through the gates of Jerusalem to the Temple of the Lord with songs of praise in their hearts. However, the veil of the Temple has been torn in two, from top to bottom. This allows all who wish to come to worship at the feet of our God and Saviour to do so.

All of these reasons make the Gentile nations and Israel jointly obligated to enter His gates with thanksgiving in their hearts. We are all invited to enter His courts with praise, giving thanks to Him and blessing His name forever. We are all called upon to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, who has paid the price for our sins and has within Himself the Word of eternal life.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving us the true righteous Word of Life in Jesus Christ. My praise belongs to You for making me Your people and the sheep of Your pasture by grace through faith. Thank You for being our Creator, our LORD, Saviour and Redeemer. Only You are worthy of praise and thanksgiving, and we bless and glorify Your holy name. Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father thank You that You keep Your promises and fulfill Your Word, and that Your loving kindness endures forever. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name, of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings in Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, infinite loving, glorious dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
