Metaphysically Interpreting Psalms 100:1-5
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
100:1Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands.
100:2Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing.100:3Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.100:4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.100:5For Jehovah is good;
his lovingkindness endureth for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.
June 2, 1935: Psalms 100:1-5
Explain how we learn to recognize the Spirit of truth as indwelling. Through meditating on the Spirit of truth, believing in it as the fundamental reality of our being, expecting its guidance, directing toward it the desire of our heart, and focusing our thought upon it, we learn to recognize it as indwelling.
Do praise and rejoicing help to make one conscious of the Spirit of truth? Both these acts exalt the mind and heart, and exaltation puts one in touch with the Spirit of truth.
How do we come to know God, the good? This knowledge comes as we learn to express active goodness. Praise, thanksgiving, loving-kindness, and faithfulness, each in degree reveals God to us, as we give it active expression.
