BIBLE MEDITATION:
Psalm
100:1 - "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There's nothing wrong
with getting excited in church. I heard about a man who came to a cold church.
The preacher said something he agreed with and he said, "Amen."
Everybody turned around and looked at him. After awhile he said, "Praise
the Lord." Then people arched their eyebrows. The next time he said
"Amen" an usher tapped him on the shoulder to quiet him down. The
usher said, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "Well, nothing.
I've just got religion." To which the usher curtly replied, "Well,
mister, you didn't get it here." It's easier to cool down a zealot than it
is to warm up a dead man.
ACTION POINT:
What does it mean to
make a joyful noise unto the Lord? How do you make a joyful noise to Him, not
just on Sundays in church, but all week long? Why not start by singing one of
your favorite hymns throughout the day today?
