Enter his Gates with Thanksgiving!
Coming to church has a different feel about it than anywhere else we go, doesn’t it? There is good reason for it. As we come to church, we are entering into the presence of royalty. We are encountering the King of all creation. Many people may shudder at the thought of appearing before a king. We may shudder too when we remember our unworthiness due to our sin as we come before our Almighty God. But as we come to our King, we recognize that he is also the God of free and faithful grace. He has reconciled us to himself through his Son, Jesus Christ. He gives us the forgiveness of our sins and free salvation. What a benevolent ruler! With this frame of mind, how can we not enter his presence with thanksgiving?! As we come, we bring with us the understanding that he has provided for all our needs and he has promised and delivered us from all our foes. While our nation marks a National Day of Thanksgiving this day, we direct our thanks to the One whose presence we are blessed to be in. Let’s join our hearts and voices in thanksgiving and praise for the One whose faithfulness endures forever!
