Worship the Lord with gladness....


Psalm 100-

“Worship the Lord with gladness ,come before Him with joyful songs.”

It had been a dry winter.The pond in front of our hospital dried out .Everyday the ducks would dutifully come out from their shed,walk up to the place where the pond should have been and would graze around.

The first shower of the monsoon came down heavily overnight.When we walked to the hospital we saw that the pond had rapidly filled up.We saw the band of ducks waddle it’s way down the hill to the pond and get into the water like it was business as usual.Some of them continued to peck at the dirt by the side.

There was a white swan amongst them who was distinct.As soon as it touched base on water ,it spread it’s wings and went into a flurry of dance like movement,it dove deep into the water came back up ,spread it’s wings  and just enjoyed the water oblivious to everything  even as we watched, fascinated.

It painted in my mind’s eye the picture of King David dancing before the arc of God, worshipping the Lord to fullness ,oblivious of everything around.

There is an idiom which goes ‘like a duck takes to water’,do we as children of the living God, take to worshipping our Great God  likewise?

 Isaiah 43 vs 21 says ‘The people who I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.’
