This month we’re not only “Talking Praise,” we are also “Walking Praise.”  Psalm 100 is a call to live out our lives in worship. The chapter is loaded with verbs, truths about God, and joy.

Here is Psalm 100 again, this time in both NIV and The Message. Let’s dig into this powerful invitation to walk in praise before our Lord. Please take a few moments to answer the questions that appear after the Scripture.

Questions

  1. Let’s start by looking at the NIV. In verses 1, 2, and 4, what verbs does the psalmist use to call us to praise God?
  2. According to this psalm, what should be our attitude? Why?
  3. How does your heart respond to verses 3 and 5?
  4. Let’s look at The Message with its creative language. How does it affect you?
  5. In verses 1, 2, and 4, what does the psalmist encourage us to do as we come to worship?
  6. How is God described in verses 3 and 5?
  7. Please take a couple of minutes to leave a comment about something you resonate with in Psalm 100, a new insight, or a question. Thank you, friends.

As we finish out this week, remember that we are God’s well-tended sheep. He is with us. Let us enter his presence with the password: “Thank you!” and bring him a gift of laughter that comes from a heart of praise!
