Psalms 98-100

I kept reading this morning until something grabbed me.

Psalm 100

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[b];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
 
This entire chapter caught me.  The first thing that grabbed me is the line that says "worship the Lord with gladness."  I have written many times over the past 3ish years about my frustration with how hard it is to follow God, and at times it can make me feel really isolated.  And then that verse swoops in.  I should be "GLAD" to worship God.  Why?  because, "It is he who made me, and I am his."  This one is a great reminder for me of how my attitude should be.
