Psalm 100:1-5 (Living Bible)
Shout with joy before the Lord, O earth! Obey him gladly; come before him, singing with joy.
Try to realize what this means—the Lord is God! He made us—we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Go through his open gates with great thanksgiving; enter his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. For the Lord is always good. He is always loving and kind, and his faithfulness goes on and on to each succeeding generation.
Psalm 105:1–4 (The Message)
Thank God! Pray to him by name!
Tell everyone you meet what he has done!
Sing him songs, belt out hymns,
translate his wonders into music!
Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs,
you who seek God. Live a happy life!
Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works;
be alert for signs of his presence.
Remember the world of wonders he has made,
his miracles, and the verdicts he’s rendered—
O seed of Abraham, his servant,
O child of Jacob, his chosen.
1 Chronicles 16:25-31
For the Lord is great and should be highly praised;
He is to be held in awe above all gods.
The other so-called gods are demons,
But the Lord made the heavens.
Majesty and honor march before him,
Strength and gladness walk beside him.
O people of all nations of the earth,
Ascribe great strength and glory to his name!
Yes, ascribe to the Lord
The glory due his name!
Bring an offering and come before him;
Worship the Lord when clothed with holiness!
Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world stands unmoved.
Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice;
Let all the nations say, ‘It is the Lord who reigns.
Romans 12:1
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
