Responses to the Goodness of God, the God of Mercy and of Truth

There are Three Responses to “The Lord is Good”

Make a joyful shout to the Lord , all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord , He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

1. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

2. And into His courts with praise.

3. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalms 100:1‭-‬5 NKJV

Where does all this happen?

1. His Gates.

In the OT this was the Tabernacle and then the Temple. But then in the NT, the synagogue and later is added, the church.

2. His Courts.

The “courts” brings to mind the kingdom where a king exercises dominion over a people. It is stately and honor-giving in its purpose. And these courts are special:

How Fitting for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
