JOYFUL NOISE

Psalm 100
“1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
There are many different ways we can make noise; in physics noise is a disturbance, it is a presence that demands attention. Therefore, noise does not have to be a sound to determine its presence. We are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord; whether it is with sound or it is with our actions of determination, God desires that we cause a joyful disturbance. We are to make our presence known. We are here God; we acknowledge you and desire that you acknowledge us.
There are those that make their presence known by their disposition of anger and dissatisfaction. They do not have to make a sound for you to know they are there; you can feel their disposition as they make a clear sound in the atmosphere that they are an unhappy camper. This is a negative disturbance.
God is not interested in such disturbances; He desires that we make a joyful noise; a joyful disturbance, He desires that we serve Him with gladness and that we come before presence with singing. “This is my story; this is my song praising my savior all the day long.” My story is my statement and my song is the emotion expressing my statement. What are we trying to say to God and how are we trying to say it? God wants a joyful noise; He wants our presence to disturb the darkness and exhilarate the light, disturb the devil and his lies as we magnify the Lord God Almighty.
