2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 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.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Key Observation:
A millennial psalm asking “all ye lands” to worship the Lord.
Memory Verse:
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Devotion:
Know that it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. This psalm is directed to the Israelites, but it is ours by application. For the Israelites it looks forward to the time of peace on earth, when the Lord reigns in Zion. For us, Christ included us in saying that he has other sheep not of this pen. Christians are sheep “not of this pen”.
Praise and thankfulness sometimes are seen too little of in many Christians’ lives. This psalm pictures a people so delighted that they would sing. They would express thankfulness; they would praise their Creator God. I cannot even begin to imagine what my life will be like when Christ returns and I am remade. But I can well imagine, from what little I do know about my awesome God, that I could spend all of eternity just in praise to God. How about a little of that enthusiasm infecting you before his return? We do serve an awesome God!
Our God is an Awesome God

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(Our God is an awesome God)
And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He she'd His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above (He reigns from heaven above)
With wisdom, power, and love (With wisdom, power, and love)
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
