Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into 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.
Psalm 100
Today is thanksgiving, “The 4th Thursday in November observed as a legal holiday for giving thanks for Divine Goodness.” (Webster’s Dictionary)
Call it whatever you propose, but that is its proper definition. May I suggest our observance in light of that, let us thank HIM!
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth,
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him,
Bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His loving-kindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations.
(Psalm 100: New International Version)
