You Are God

In this 2-week reading plan, we will assume a posture of thanksgiving before the Lord by meditating on ten Psalms of Gratitude. Rather than provide a written response to each Psalm, we will offer a simple yet meaningful activity designed to help us recall God’s mercies to us and through time. So grab a journal, and let’s create our own songs of thanksgiving to God. May He use His Word to turn our hearts toward Him.

 

Psalm 100
Be Thankful
A psalm of thanksgiving.

Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
Acknowledge that Yahweh is God.
He made us, and we are His —
His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal;
His faithfulness endures through all generations.

Dig deeper:
Our God is good and His love is eternal. Let’s follow David’s lead in Psalm 100 by humbling ourselves in gratitude before the Lord. Complete the song of praise below with your own words of thanks.

Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness;

come before Him with joyful songs.
