Today's E-Votion

God Is So Good

Psalm 116
17
I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
       and call on the name of the LORD.

Not all sacrifices in the Old Testament days were given on solemn occasions with downcast hearts and heads.  Sometimes we get the wrong picture of the Temple service that took place.

To give a sacrifice of Thanks, the person would bake a nice cake and bring it to the altar with Joy and Thanksgiving in the heart.  Praise and singing accompanied this act.  We sing a song built from Old Testament Scripture that goes like this:

I will enter HIS Gates with Thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter
HIS Courts with Praise
I will say, "This is the Day that the
LORD has made!"
I will rejoice for
HE has made me Glad!

In Old Testament times, there were days of feasts and rejoicing which far outnumbered the days of solemnity and repentance.  

How is your life?  Do your days of rejoicing far outnumber the solemnity?  The LORD JESUS would have it that way.  The enemy of your soul who is also called "the accuser of the brethren" would have you constantly depressed and guilty.

The first line of every Monday Joy evotion written by Pastor Mark each Monday for the last 8 years goes like this:

Today, being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY' ON and praise the LORD with us, the whole week long!

Not just a nice sounding sentence, but it is the LORD'S Perfect Will for HIS followers.  No matter what you are going through (and I am sure it is a lot!), we must bring HIM the offering of Thanksgiving, because that is what HE deserves.  When we do so, we do it with Exceeding Great Joy and a Light and Happy Heart!
