| The Way to Enter |

| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” |
| (Psalm 100:4, NKJV) |

| THE WORD |
|
What a wonderful privilege we have to enter boldly to
His throne of grace. We serve a personal God who desires a relationship
with us. We have access to Him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year! But notice that today’s verse tells us that we shouldn’t just
come any old way to God. We shouldn’t come empty-handed to the King of
kings and the Lord of lords. What do we have to give that’s worthy of
Almighty God? Our praise. Our thanksgiving. Our worship. We are to enter
His gates with an offering of adoration from our hearts because He is
so worthy!
We have to understand, praise isn’t just about singing
songs on Sunday mornings. Praise is the expression of gratefulness to
Father God for who He is and all that He has done. Praise gets God’s
attention. Praise is a powerful tool in the life of the believer because
God inhabits our praises! When we enter His presence the right way, He
enters our circumstances; and when God shows up, the enemy must flee!
Today, enter into His gates with thanksgiving and open the door for Him
to move on your behalf!
