1. It is God who made us (1-3)
The Lord God who made us is the Creator of all the earth. He is worthy of our worship and adoration. We can shout for joy because we belong to him. We are his because he made us. We do not belong to ourselves, or to our parents, or to any person. We belong to God. When we know this, and worship him with humbleness and joy, we are truly free. We are God's sheep and he is our true shepherd. He provides for our needs and watches over us to keep us in safety. He leads us in the way of life.
2. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving (4-5)
When we come to the Lord, our Good Shepherd, we should come with glad and joyful hearts. We should come with thanksgiving. God is good, and his love endures forever. He is faithful from generation to generation.
Prayer: Lord, I belong to you. You made me and you bought me with your blood. Help me to hear your voice and follow you today and forever.
One Word: God is my shepherd
