The players encourage one another; a short celebration takes place and then the game continues. After the game is over players and fans may reminisce on the same play and more cheering and celebration may ensue. This is the life of cheering for a sports team, when good things happen, we can &#8216;thelp but to be excited and celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same thing should happen when we recognize and see what God has done for us. Psalm 100 was written as a song of praise for what God has done. The Psalmist recognizes who God is and what he has done and that leads him to sing and shout and thank God for what he has done. When we think about God, we should spend time thanking him for the many blessings he has given us. When we seem him working in our lives we should celebrate and praise him. May we take time often to thank God for all that he has done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, if you have any questions about your faith or how to have a relationship with Jesus, I would love to talk with you about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Coach Nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
