shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth!

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness,
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his,
we are 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 the Lord is good and his love
endures forever; his faithfulness
continues through all generations."
Psalm 100

Is this not what we were made for? A life of joy in him, wholly surrendered in worship at all times? How refreshing it is to be around people who live by this; in a world full of selfishness and frustration, these people are a breath of fresh air! When we are truly in a state of constant worship, all of the things of this world that try to get in our way and try to bring us down become powerless. All of the trifles that may have offended us or stepped between us and God before are now something to laugh at.
We can't forget how important this is!

"Satisfy us in the morning
with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy
and be glad all our days."
Psalm 90:14
