Psalm 100

Daily Devotional from Psalm 100–

Verse 2 
Serve the Lord with gladness. 

Gladness starts with a decision. I can show up to my job and be chipper. I might not necessarily feel like it, at least right away. But I still have a choice. Choice is one of the greatest superpowers you will ever have. It really does work. Make the choice and do it. 

Same thing goes for signing up for a service opportunity, writing out your tithe check, and choosing to encourage someone when you don’t feel like it. 

But here’s the thing: the gladness usually comes after the decision is made, and not before. Don’t wait until you feel like serving the Lord to serve him with gladness. Start with the choice, and let your heart catch up. 

Demetrius Rogers
