Feeling Stuck?

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100

“To enter His gates with thanksgiving is to acknowledge that every good gift comes from above. Praise in His courts is the natural language of the redeemed soul. The man who comes to God grumbling finds the door shut; the one who comes praising finds it flung wide open.” A.W. Tozer 

How do we cultivate personal and corporate revival? Gratitude and thanksgiving.

We gladly lay down our entitlements and choose a lifestyle of thanksgiving—in our thoughts and our words—knowing it keeps our hearts and minds fixed on eternity (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

When we stare at this world, disappointment is guaranteed. Turn on the news for five minutes and you’ll see it: division, mess, chaos. The average person spends 6+ hours a day on screens, soaking in the noise. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus—on what we’ll be doing forever, praising Him on the throne—our souls realign. It heals what’s broken inside us.

Feeling salty? Dull? Stuck? Open Psalm 100. Read it out loud. Pray it. Meditate on it. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. That’s how we gain eternal perspective in a fallen world.

This is revival—personally and together. Do now what we’ll do for eternity: come praising, come thankful. It’s worked for me every time. It will work for you. It’s what we were made for.

I challenge you today: go do it. Read Psalm 100. Give thanks. Praise Him. Let your heart recalibrate.

Have a great day entering His presence with joy!
