Psalm 100:1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
What benefit do we have in making a joyful shout to The Lord? It leads to us having a more positive perspective. It brings us thankfulness. It helps us to remember that He loves us.

Having thankfulness, gratitude, joy helps us to appreciate more what Our Lord has done in our lives. It really helps us to see that He really is helping us through many different things.
Are you having struggles with finding thankfulness, gratitude, or Joy? then go out and help someone. You can start with someone in your circle, if you are not comfortable in talking to people you don’t know, and helping them with a need they have. In fact, in verse 2 of t his Psalm, the psalmist here says, “Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.” (Psalm 100:2) What a better way to serve The ord. Serving The Lord by helping others, will help us to take focus of our selves and we will find that Joy, thankfulness, and gratitude when we are able to help someone.
It starts with Our Relationship with Jesus. If you don’t have a Relationship with Him or you need to rekindle that Relationship, do it now. Call out to Him and seek his Love and Forgiveness. It really is as hard or easy as you make it.
We should look to Him daily to seek a relationship with Him. I want to encourage you to seek Him today, if you haven’t already. If you need help, have questions or need direction in this regard, please, feel free to let me know.
Maybe today you are struggling with something. Maybe you may have found yourself not as close to The Lord as you thought. We would like to help you in this through prayer and guidance.
