Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
Psalm 100:2
I receive enormous satisfaction when I’m serving God with a happy heart. I better do that, because it’s a command! Psalm 100:2 says, “Serve the Lord with gladness.” And that word serve is an imperative. And those who do not serve God with a glad and willing heart cancel out the benefits their service could have won them. Charles Spurgeon put it this way; he said, “Those who serve God with a sad countenance, because their service feels unpleasant, are not serving him at all; they bring the form of homage, but the life is absent. God does not want slaves to grace his throne; he wants his servants dressed in joy.” Oh, friend, do you serve the Lord with gladness? I hope so, for ’cause it’s a divine command given for your benefit, both here and in the hereafter. Ask God to infuse life into your service and then be glad!
