Psalm 100:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)
Invitations are requests that come in a written or verbal form. These invitations call for an action; to go somewhere or do something. Depending upon the event, we may be joyful about getting an invitation to attend. In fact, we may be saddened when we do not receive one. I know from recent experiences it would bring great joy to me to be able to invite everyone I love and know to an upcoming wedding event, but it is absolutely impossible to do so. Some events have limitations. But, there is a moment-by-moment event to which every human being on earth is invited to attend; an invitation that should bring great joy. The Host is the Creator of All. That invitation is to come into the protective fold of the Good Shepherd and worship the Lord with gladness.
A psalm of thanksgiving.
1
Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
2
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
3
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.[a]
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
