Through the Gates

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

God has some very special and precious things to show us in these last days. He has a plan and a purpose that He wants us to hear and see so that we can be involved in what He is going to do before the coming of the Lord. We must gain access to His Presence in order to see and hear. How? Enter in at the gate of Thanksgiving -

Psalm 118:19-21 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

-and then move into His Courts with Praise! There He will beckon to us to approach the Throne and come up into His very lap [Heb. 4:16].

Our Covenant with him is better than Moses; it is better than that of Joshua - When they went into the Tabernacle God met with them [Exo. 33:9-11]. When we go into the Courts of God we too will hear God speak "face to face," as a man speaks unto his friend. He will speak to us just as though He were speaking to Jesus when He was walking on the earth.

We are to "be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." This means to live a thankful life and to bless His name by yielding every circumstance to the name of Jesus; by calling upon Him for all our need.
