H.O.P.E. Devotional

Happy Thanksgiving!

Psalm 100 is a song of Thanksgiving! It begins “Shout joyfully” which can be defined as to raise a shout or give a blast! Can you imagine the whole earth, every nation and tongue praising the Lord, shouting joyfully?

The praise and music rang out this morning with Hezekiah Walker singing joyfully “Every praise is to our God, every word of worship, with one accord, every praise, every praise is to our God!”

My heart begins to praise as I hear the lyrics:

“Let me hear the worshippers!

Where is all of my praises?

I want everybody around the world to put your hands together

Because all the praise belongs' to God

Here we go

Every praise (is to our God) is to our God

Every word of worship (every word of worship)

With one accord (with one accord)

Every praise (every praise)

Every praise (every praise)

Is to our God (is to our God)

Sing hallelujah (sing hallelujah)

To our God (to our God)

Glory hallelujah (glory hallelujah)

Is due our God (is due our God)

Every praise (every praise)

Every praise (every praise)

Is to our God (is to our God)”

This joyful praise song reminds me of Psalm 100.

A thanksgiving psalm.

Let your praises be heard this Thanksgiving, as you raise a shout, give a blast and worship our God with thankfulness!

From the Heart,
