1SHOUT for joy to the LORD, all the earth! 2Worship the LORD with gladness;come into His presence with singing.3 Know that the LORD is God; He made us, and not we ourselves;we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise;give thanks to Him, and bless His name.5 For the LORD is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.

Why it matters
Worship begins with recognizing who God is and whose we are. Thanksgiving is an appropriate response to the Creator’s lasting mercy, not simply to pleasant circumstances.
Key verse
