Thought for the Day 2/17/2006
Psalm 100:2-4 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
How many times to we begin our prayers with thankfulness?
Someone once said, "There so many times that we load up all of our burdens and worries onto a big dump truck and we put that truck in reverse and then we back that truck right up to the throne of God and flip the switch and dump all of that trash at God's feet, all without ever seeing Him."
This is completely backwards from God's teachings. We should enter God's presence with praises and thankfulness. Then, after we have spent time thanking God for His mercies and praising Him for his greatness, we can turn the truck around and unload our worries and burdens.
Which direction are you driving your dump truck today? Try driving forward instead of backwards into the presence of God.
