2 Reasons to worship
It is a striking fact about the one hundredth psalm that it is the only one in the Psalter explicitly identified as “a psalm for giving thanks.”
Thanksgiving in context of confession of sin - thanks for salvation/forgiveness more than thanks for gifts, healing, provisions
Called a “Psalm of Thanksgiving”
part of a larger context
Read the 89th Psalm and you see many of the questions in that Psalm answered in the 90-106th Psalms
Also, 95th Psalm and this Psalm have many parallel ideas.
Serves as book ends of all about the worship of God as king
This is a simple Psalm explaining worship of YHWH!
What is the heart of worship?
Knowing God More Deeply
The Tone of Our Worship
How does the tone of these verses compare to the tone of your worship?
expressive
outward - can’t shout quietly
natural outer reaction to inner experience
Worship should be expressive.
But how do we achieve that?
Not instant or put on.
We see also...
The Source of Our Worship
KNOW = less about intellectual knowledge and more about confession
confess a few things about God
He made us - creator
We are his - master
We’re his people - relationship as his special creation, unique in all creation
We’re his sheep - he is care giver, guide, protector (Psalm 23)
Our tone is expressive because our God is worthy!
So...
The Invitation to Worship
What are gates/courts?
- location in temple
This is about going deeper in worship
thanksgiving - same word as title - confession of sin more thank thanks for stuff
praise - that inspires us to unbridled praise
Result of all this is last command
thanks
bless his name - name = character
Verse 5 gives us...
Verse 5 gives us...
The Reason to Worship
God is Good, all the time!
All the time, God is Good!
Yes He is!
Is it right for us to judge God’s goodness?
not judgment
acknowledgment that he defines it
We are not judging whether he is good
We are admitting that he is the example of goodness
How do we see that exemplified by God? Parallelism:
faithful love and faithfulness
endures forever through all generations
