Sing!

Ps 100:1-5
1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.2 Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing.3 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.4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving, {and} His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name.5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness to all generations.(NAS)

Tonight at youth group, we talked about why we worship, why we sing, why we're thankful. The basis was the above passage. We sing because God made us. We're thankful because God is good. It is important that we not get caught up in the motions, going to church, singing the songs, but keep our minds on the reasons behind the things we do. We serve a great God. I pray that I remember that and don't get "caught up" in the motions.
