Shout to the Lord

“Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This Psalm inspired Darlene Zschech to write her now famous worship song- Shout to the Lord. In its day this song went throughout the world and lifted the hearts of many in worship. Then there was not the absolute abundance of good worship we have now. 

As we approach Christmas rather than parties and revelries why not quiet worship and contemplation? The most wonderful gift was given to us over 2000 years ago. His name is Jesus! The longing in our hearts is for Him not gifts,!empty sentiments or pretence that a man in a red suit fulfills our Christmas. While giving gifts is a pleasure (should and could be) it is not the gift we need. As we find quiet space to worship we find our centre.

Thank You Jesus that You are enough! Thank You that all my joy is found in You! You are my praise, my song! Thanks you for Your presence! Thank You for Your gift of eternal life. Amen!
