1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth

2 Serve the Lord with gladness!

Come into his presence with singing!

3 Know that the Lord, he is God!

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

and his courts with praise!

Give thanks to him; bless his name!

5 For the Lord is good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 100 (ESV)

This psalm is a great call to worship. I’ve read it many times and even taught from it once.

I read it again one morning last week while sipping coffee on my back porch. I thought, “Amen. Praise the Lord for this beautiful and unseasonably mild morning. If my voice wasn’t still waking up, I could break out in a song of worship right now.”
