Enter God's Gates With Gratitude
Enter God's Gates With Gratitude | November 23rd
According to various sources, the tallest gate entrance in the world is the Buland Darwaza, located in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India, which stands at a height of 177 feet!
If you were to enter the magnificent Buland Darwaza gateway, a sense of awe and wonder would surely captivate you. The architecture, unprecedented heights, and overall ambiance of the gate would create a memorable experience. Therefore, you would approach the gate expecting greatness, feeling grateful for the opportunity. On a much deeper level, when we enter into God's presence—whether during prayer or at church—we should approach Him with gratitude for who He is, what He has done, and what is yet to come.
Psalm 100:1-5 declares, "Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to the Lord! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and 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 faithful love endures forever; his faithfulness, through all generations."
Knowing and believing in this Psalm, let us take time today to enter the Lord's presence. "Entering His gates" represents coming before God. Therefore, start with prayer and read this Scripture. Next, make it a priority to attend church today, and remember to enter His gates with thanksgiving for all of His blessings.
