Thursday July 8, 2010 Hos 13-14, Ps: 100, 102, Heb. 5 S-The Password

S-The PasswordPs. 100:2 (NIV) Worship the Lord with gladness, come before Him with a joyful song. (MSG) Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourself into HIS presence. O- The Psalmist is saying for us to "get on your feet" and praise God. He is the creator and maker of each one of us and each has been chosen by God for His purpose. Be glad and and "thank" Him for your existance. The message bible says, that the password into His presence is "thank you."

A- Often when we are down, worship can seem to be the hardest thing to do. What this psalm is saying, is to get up

and just start thanking God, it is the key to freedom, and the key to entering into His presence. Worship is water

to our soul, and that water can put out any turmoil that is going on in your mind, because it becomes all about Him.

P- Dear Lord, give us a song of Thanks on our hearts today. For those who are heavy hearted and in crisis, give them a

song that will bring laughter to their soul. For everyone, put a song on our hearts that keeps a surrounding presence

of you, around our minds to keep our focus on you, and to be thankful for our existance. Amen.
