Psalm 100
“Know that the Lord Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture” (v3). This psalm is beloved by God’s people, because every time we affirm that we are “the sheep of His pasture,” a huge weight falls off our shoulders. What a relief that we did not make ourselves! Our kind Shepherd “is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting. And His faithfulness endures to all generations” (v5).
We can “serve the Lord with gladness,” because His faithfulness endures to our generation, too.
