Tony had just graduated with a University degree and had completed his first week at an architectural firm. For the first time in his life he was financially secure. Now, at last, he knew he should feel successful and fulfilled. But something was lacking.
He rummaged around in his desk until he found the long-unused Bible his parents had given him. He turned through the book, scanning the familiar verses. He smiled as he read Psalm 100. Certain phrases stood out: “Serve the Lord with gladness . . . come before his presence . . . we are His people . . . enter into his gates with thanksgiving . . . be thankful unto him . . . for the Lord is good.”
Could that be the answer? Tony knew it had been too long since he had allowed the presence of God in his life. A new resolve came to him: he would find a church where, once again, he could “enter into His gates” to worship.
“Thank You, God,” he whispered.
