Presence of the Lord - Serve the Lord with gladness


Serve the Lord with gladness

Ps100:2 Serve the Lord with gladness, come before His presence with singing.

Let us praise God who has given us good health and good life. God has protected us from all kinds of dangers, failures, temporal happiness, deceases, and deaths. From all these circumstances, God helped us and protected us even in the path of deaths and brought us to enter in to this New Year, by only because of His grace. It is not enough to have thousands tongue to praise His mighty name and give thanks for His marvels deeds. Last years, we had our friends, relatives and loved ones with us but today they are not with us but God is with us Immanuel.
The psalmist invites us to come to the presences of God with gladness and loud voice of praise, not with sorrowful heart. We may face more difficulties, problems and heavy burdens in this New Year but when we come to the presences of God we feel God’s majesty hand up on us and his wonderful hand work. His creation and  protection. We must understand that God is our creator and protector. When we are in the hands of God, we are safe in His arms. We shouldn’t give more importance to ourselves. We cannot make ourselves. Whenever we put ourselves in the centre of our life we face all kinds of troubles and sorrows. We must acknowledge God’s greatness and His creation then our problems will be solved in the presences of God.
In this New Year may the Lord help us to rise up and strengthen with new strength that God   would give us?   To get the new strength you have to come to the presences of God, which is the only way you have to do .If God with us? In the New Year we lack any good things. We will have victory life.
 We never turn back in the time of troubles and tremolos. Just look back how God led you for the last years and think of His greatness and goodness. If God with us who can stand against us? And what man can do? .The troubles, failures, and any other things can do nothing. Always think of His greatness and goodness in the presences of God. Then we can enter in to the gate with thanksgivings and praising heart. Set aside the troubles and worries and put trust in the Lord with thanksgiving and praise. Then we will find this New Year a fullness of god’s presences with the gladness of heart and loud voice of praise.
