Manic Monday ~ Serve and Gladness


manic monday


Welcome to Manic Monday!! I pray everyone enjoyed and loved every bit of their weekend. I had my first jewelry party hosted by my beautiful sister in Christ, Sonia. Then, after that, my family enjoyed a beautiful service at church followed by a BBQ. Saturday was a full, long, and wonderful day. As a result, on Sunday, we rested, relaxed, and enjoyed some family time together.



For today's Manic Monday, we are going to focus on Serve and Gladness from Psalms 100:1-2, "Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing." You can enter into God's presence by shouting, worshipping, and singing to the Lord Most High with gladness. Psalms 100:1-2 express a command that every nation should take heed to and do joyfully. In addition to that, Christians are the main people who should set an example and entice others to praise God.



Serve - [Hebrew word:Abad; Strong's #5647] - to work for,
serve; do labor for someone; to be servant; to worship

Gladness - experiencing pleasure, joy,
or delight, pleased, very willing


As servants of God, we must be more than willing to serve God in worship. As we worship Him, God wants us to experience pleasure, joy, and delight while in His presence. In return, God will also experience the same thing as His children honor and praise Him in the name of Jesus. God delights Himself in the praises of His people.





"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms."
(Psalms 95:1-2)
