Bible Scripture Reading for Sunday 24 July 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 24 July 2011"

Today's Blog Title: "Serving with Gladness"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 100:1-5
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 100:4,5 "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and unto His courts with praise.  Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.  For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations."

This psalm, affectionately known as "old hundred," thrills with excitement of worship.  We are invited to share the exhilaration and joy of praise and to gather for worship with thanksgiving and praise.

This psalm contains a command to serve (verse 1-3) and a command to praise (verses 4,5).  Each section is then divided into three calls and three causes.  There are three calls to serve, make a joyful noise, (verse 1), serve the Lord (verse 2), and come before (verse 2); and three cause for serving, the Lord is God, he hath made us, we are His people (verse 3). 

Likewise there are three calls to praise, enter His gates, be thankful, bless His name (verse 4) followed by three causes for praise, the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, his truth endureth (verse 5).

Today's Hymn: "Blessed Assurance"

Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior, all the day long

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, How thankful we are Abba Father in your mercy and Your royal love.  May our lives reflect the great confession of our faith and trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  May we as Christians, Heavenly Father come before You with every lasting songs of joy and praise.
                                                                                                             Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "God's goodness is based on His royal love and His truth"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.  Love God More Day and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
