Getting Gods Attention"
Psalms 100 is about Gods reign and knowing how to come to God. If you're wanting to get Gods attention, u first to have to make a joyful noise. You have to be willing to shout for Jesus. If u can't shout to praise God, u might not have been thru enough, u can't stop someone who has had their bills paid with no job stop praising God. Those people know God is worthy a few shouts. You shouldn't come to God with a sad spirit, bc u know that God can do all things so u know that the closer you get to God, the happier u should be. Come to God with expectation, knowing that God is going to do something in you. So u should have a shout ready for Him. Also when u come to God, u have to worship Him with gladness (verse 2). When u are doings Gods work, and do it with gladness, God will bless in your work. Come to God with a song in you're heart. If u are filled with the Holy Spirit, (Eph 5:18) you will have a song thru the hard times that come your way. The 3rd thing you need when u come to God is to know the Jesus is God. Knowing that Jesus is God is having confidence in Him and knowing that He doesn't need a second opinion on how He can bless you. You also have to know Gods power, and that He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Knowing that God is the Creator, u should look at yourself a little different. If God created you the way He wants you to be, be thankful that He uniquely made you. Don't let no one tell you any different. (Eph 2:10) states that you are one of Gods masterpiece's and their will be no other like you. When you begin to love yourself you are showing thanks to your Creator.
We are Gods kids, He takes care of us bc His name is on the line. Parents don't let kids leave the house any type of way bc they know that their kids represent their name. God won't leave you bc His name is on line. (Psalms 106) States that he will save you just to show every just how powerful He is. (Isaiah 48:9) States that God has deferred His anger on us bc of His name. Bc we deserves Gods anger but His name is on the line and He will always take care of His children.(Ezekiel 36:29) States God promises to take you from ur current situation, even if you messed up Gods name with your actions, God will take you to His land, will have you go thru no type of famine, and He will correct His name thru you. He will show up in your life so much that people will see that God is still working and that He is still awesome. I suggest that you read Ezk 36 to fully understand Gods promise. He will always do what he promises He will do.
