Reforming (phase 1), Our Human Vocation (step 2), session 5

Cry out with joy to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

Know that he, the LORD, is God!
It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his flock.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!

For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all generations. - Ps 100

Whatever our specific calling, this is indeed each person's vocation: to praise God with our voices, our hearts, our lives. Every other thing that we do will find its context in this.

There are only five sessions to this step, so I will be moving on to the next step. But this one has served as a good reminder of the importance of daily praise, and a barometer indicating just how far I have drifted from having this as part of my daily life of faith.
