This weeks comment: “THANKFULNESS” Psalm 100 v 4 ‘ Enter Hi s gates

wi th thanks gi vi ng, go i nto Hi s courts wi th prai se. Give thanks to Hi m & bless Hi s name.’ (NLT) Gods’ prescri pti on for enteri ng Hi s presence i s to gi ve thanks. Thi s verse doesn’ t jus t tell us the ri ght atti tude w i th w hi ch to enter Hi s gates, i t also tells us the means by w hi ch to enter them. Thanks gi vi ng coupled wi th prai se will bri ng us to w here He i s, or i t wi ll bri ng Hi m to w here w e are. Ei ther w ay, w e fi nd that w orshi pful grati tude i s the ri ght place to be. God li ves w here He i s acknow ledged. If God does not seem to be li vi ng near you, perhaps there i s somethi ng lacki ng i n your acknow ledgement. You rarely see grati tude i n someone w ho thi nks negati vely about li fe. Why? Pessi mi sti c thoughts remov e the glory of Hi s presence. Negati ve thi nki ng i s not fai th, i t assumes the w orst and i t feeds – i s fed by – the enemy of God. Paul tol d beli evers to gi ve thanks i n every ci rcumstance. (1Thess 5:18) He di dn’ t tell them to gi ve thanks only w hen the cl ear evi dence of Gods’ blessi ng i s visi ble. He tol d them to gi ve thanks alw ays - i n every si tuati on. How are w e to do thi s? If w e know that God i s good, & that He i s soverei gn, & that He i s wi se, w e can gi ve thanks that He i s w orki ng out Hi s plan even i n the di ffi cult ci rcumstances of li fe. In every ci rcumstance, choos e to see i t from an angle that w i ll culti vate grati tude. God wi ll be honoured, and Hi s presence w i ll be real. Have a great w eek.
