Psalm 100:4 Part II


Psalm 100:4 says "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

"and into his courts with praise:" is what we want to think upon today. ALWAYS be ready to praise the Lord. I don't think...no matter how bad my day may seem...there hasn't been SOMETHING to praise the Lord about! Psalm 68:19 says "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits..."! When I think of the word 'loadeth', I don't see myself just thinking of a couple things---there are so MANY benefits time wouldn't allow for me nor can my mind even comprehend ALL the DAILY benefits the Lord gives me each and every day.

I encourage you to sit down and just take each letter of the word PRAISE and come up with some things to praise the Lord about!

I'll share some of mine...I'm still working on my list:

P - peace I am so glad I have peace in knowing I have a home in Heaven and that GOD is in control of ALL things---big and little!

A - assurance Isn't it wonderful to know we can have assurance of our salvation and we don't have to keep "hoping" we'll make it? If we are "hoping" then we aren't "trusting"!!

S - salvation WOW! What a life changing event for me personally and for our home and marriage as a whole!!!

E - Eternal Life I have a future to look forward to beyond what time I'll have here on earth...I have eternal life with Jesus Christ!!!!

I'd love to hear some praises you come up with out of the word PRAISE! Just post a comment!
