Joyful Noise
“Make
a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come
before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it
is he that hath 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 unto
him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his
mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” (Psalms 100:1-5)
Today’s Morsel:
Do you ever feel as though the church is too quiet? When I first came
into the church, the pastor had a tambourine beating his leg, a guy had his
store keys jangling on his side with his hands in the air speaking in tongues,
the Piano player was striking those ivories like there was no tomorrow, the
drummer was lost in another world, and the Spirit of God was moving all over
the place. They didn’t care who was there nor what people thought of
their worship. They came to worship and praise God for His goodness,
mercy, and truth. The truth about Jesus Christ had made them free from
self and this world. They entered His gates with thanksgiving and came
into His courts with praise. Scripture says in Mark 2:1 that it was
noised aboard that Jesus was in the house. There was healing,
deliverance, teaching, and hope being revealed. If your church isn’t making
some noise, if there isn’t some joyful praise and worship, Jesus may not be in
the house.
Sing: Praise
Him, praise Him! Praise Him in the morning; Praise Him in the
noontime. Praise Him, praise Him! Praise Him when the sun goes
down.
Thought For Today: Let
God be magnified.
