Psalm 100

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
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!

For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness
to all generations.

call to trust

I trust Jesus. In Luke 8-9 I see His power in stilling the storm with a word. In commanding demons with complete authority. In healing the unhealable. Raising the dead. Multiplying a small amount of food to completely satisfy thousands of hungry people.

I see His power over nature. Over the spirit world. Over death and disease. With a word, even without a word, He wills, and it is done. He takes nothing and turns it into abundance.

He calls me to trust Him. His power, His mercy. And to leave all the what-if's of the future with Him. Will He not give grace for every situation? Will not whatever He gives be a choice gift from His hand, better than any alternative?

He is Lord

Jesus is Lord
and He makes no mistakes
whatever He gives
will be found better
than whatever we thought we wanted instead

Peace

Peace, perfect peace
The future all unknown...
Jesus we know
And He is on His throne!
