The answer is: With singing

Psalm 100:2 - This joyful psalm emphasizes entering the Lord's presence with gladness and singing, reflecting the idea of praise throughout Scripture. The Psalms are rich with songs of worship; for instance, Psalm 95:1 also calls for joyful noise, showcasing a consistent theme of jubilant worship in approaching God.

Picture this: you're stepping into a vibrant, uplifting space, the air thrumming with excitement and joy. That’s exactly the energy Psalm 100 inspires when it encourages us to enter God’s presence with singing! It’s like being part of an ancient choir, where every voice combines in a warm, communal expression of love and gratitude.

Singing in the Bible is not just about sound; it’s a fundamental expression of the soul's joy and reverence. The Habiru—often referred to as "Hebrews" in historical texts—would frequently use song to mark significant moments and celebrate life's gifts. It's fascinating how throughout the Bible, songs act as a powerful vehicle for expressing emotions and communal beliefs. Remember the Israelites sharing songs of joy after crossing the Red Sea in Exodus 15? Those are just a couple of glimpses into how integral praise through music has been historically.

Delayed thanksgiving isn’t celebrated during worship; rather, everyone was encouraged to jump in with delight right from the start! While Psalm 100 focuses on gladness, we shouldn’t overlook the echo in other psalms and hymns throughout the genre, underscoring that lively and exuberant praise unites us in reminding us of life’s erratic beautiful moments. As we gather, let’s remember not just to gather in voice but in spirit and community, jubilantly participating in this ancient kinship of worship!
