"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.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."
Psalms 100:3-5
This is great stuff. I really like the part here where it reminds us "it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves." We forget things like that sometimes, and get big heads about our own accomplishments and abilities, and forget how much we need God. Not saying at all that we shouldn't strive to do great things; only that we need to remember that without God we wouldn't be able to do any of it, and that he deserves the praise and thanks that this psalm encourages us to offer him.
God is good, and one of the most amazing things about him is his mercy. He reaches out to us in our darkness of trouble and distress, even when we caused it, and he helps us to find our way out, and back to light and sanity. :) Today, let's remember that God's truth never becomes outdated or obsolete. What he has to say is always relevant, and prayer and scripture study are therefore consistently worthwhile. Let's be joyful to be his and have him watching over us. Let's be thankful and bless his name, and always remember him as we go throughout our days.
