"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!Serve the Lord with gladness!Come into his presence with singing!"

I was struck by
the first line of verse 2 during a church staff prayer time this morning. How often do we
serve the Lord, but not cheerfully? While we may not go as far as the corrupt
priests in Malachi who despised the services of the Lord (saying it was
"Bazah!" ...doesn't that just sound like despising?), we may serve
reluctantly, hesitantly, perfunctorily, or even sullenly. But such attitudes are not a sweet savor unto the Lord or unto anyone else.
For me, I confess
that this morning it was "sleepily" until the Lord quickened this verse to my
soul.
Well, I may still
be sleepy, but it is a "cheerful sleepy"!
