100:1-2 Praise and service, joy and gladness. The righteous love and wisdom of our God inspires us to gladly praise Him. Our service within the compassionate kingdom of God creates within us joy. Life is completely different within the service of the Kingdom of God; enemy and fear lose their power. Hope and compassion grow in strength.
100:3 Our God is our Shepherd; He feeds and protects and leads us. He has created us, so intricately... with so much care and attention to detail. He loves us, deeply. Those who seek and listen and learn become part of His pasture... and it is the safest place to ever be.
100:4-5 Remember gratitude. God is so faithful with everything we put in His hands. The more we trust Him, the more we put in His hands, the more of our life we commit to righteousness. And from within those strong and kind hands, we must remember to be thankful and the praise Him for all of the free gifts He has given... and given eternally.
