Monday Thought -- November 5, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.  Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.  Know that the LORD is God.  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Psalm 100:1-5)

You have a lot to be happy about!  In Christ, we all do.

There is a God over the creation.  That’s good.  It should make us happy.  It means justice will eventually prevail.  It means that world will not spin out of His control.  He made the world and He is still God of it.  Rejoice in that.

We are God’s people.  We are like sheep to the Shepherd.  That’s good.  It should make us happy.  It means that He loves us.  It means that He takes care of us.  It means that He is watching over us to protect us.  It means He provides for our needs.  Rejoice in that.

God is good.  That’s great.  It should make us happy.  We don’t have to be worried that He’s waiting to zap us when we do something wrong.  He’s not.  He is a good God.  We don’t have to be worried that He has a mean and vindictive streak in Him.  He doesn’t.  He is a good God.  Rejoice in that.

God is faithful.  That’s good.  It should make us happy.  He can be counted on, today, tomorrow, and till the very end.  Rejoice in that.

We have a lot to be happy about!

His, by Grace,

Steve
