PSALM 100 MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE TO THE LORD
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 100:1-5

PRAISING THE LORD OUT LOUD by ILMA
All you people of God, come out and sing
Joyfully shout out loud and praise him
Exult him for he has bestowed you much blessings
Thank him with much gladness and dancing
Declare all that he has done; he is faithful
Be holy, cleanse your heart and stay grateful.
He is the only one worthy of worship
Keep focused on him and give him glory
Let your voices be heard to please him
He has given you his Son to forgive your sins
The Lord is full of steadfast love and is full of mercy
Bow down and shout out loud to give him all the glory.

REFLECTION
• Why does David invite all the people and all creatures of the earth to make noise to the Lord?
• What does serving the Lord with gladness means in verse 2? How is it possible to serve the Lord in a grumpy way?
• Is it possible to be quietly worship the Lord? Is that really giving him praise?

The word “steadfast” means unwavering, resolute, persistent, committed. The psalmist describes God’s love as steadfast. In this psalm, he invites us to make joyful noise to the Lord and to serve him with gladness. We are also prompted to come to his presence with singing and thanksgiving and praises. Since God created us in his image, we too, can have a steadfast love for God and for others.

ADORATION: Your steadfast love for all your people is amazing! You are love and everything you made and comes from you is mad out of love. Praise you Lord for your faithful and persistent love for us.
CONFESSION: Forgive me when I forget to love steadfastly and hurry to do things for you. Show me to surrender to love, your faithful love.
THANKSGIVING: Thank you for all that you supply me with, especially your commitment to pursue me. Thank you that you bring the people that you want us to walk with in love and in truth.
SUPPLICATION: I pray that you give me more commitment to do your will and to bring truth in spirit and love.

REFLECTION
• Why is “steadfast love” required from Christians?
• What is the essence of the Christian walk?
• Why is “giving up” the opposite of steadfastness?
• Are believers supposed to give up when we suffer and when we don’t get our agendas met?
