Psalms 100:2. Serve the LORD with gladness:
What a text that is!" Serve the Lord, "obey him, yield to him your homage; but serve him "with gladness." He wants not slaves to grace his throne, he loves willing worship, happy worship, for he is "the happy God." "Serve the Lord with gladness."
Psalms 100:2. Come before his presence with singing.
Singing is delightful, but singing in God’s presence is heavenly. Do not the spirits that are made pure and holy come before his presence, and come before it with singing? I wish that whenever we sing, we would sing as in the presence of God. I am afraid that we sometimes go through the tune mechanically, and the words languish on our lips: "Come before his presence with singing."
