Do you ever find yourself spectating during the worship time at church?

Nancy DeMas Walgamuth encourages you to get more involved.

We're not the audience, and we're sitting there or standing there waiting to be entertained.

We're supposed to be active participants, and God is the audience.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamuth, author of Choosing Gratitude.

For November 23rd, 2021, I'm Dana Gresh.

As believers, we can talk a lot about praising God, but what does that practically look like?

How do you praise God?

Today, Nancy's going to challenge you to consider your mindset and actions as you participate

in praising God.

She's continuing in the series, Enter His Gates with

Thanksgiving. Well, this week we've set aside to celebrate Thanksgiving, which I've always said

is my very favorite holiday. And I don't know if it's my very favorite because I love Christmas,

I love Easter, I love Passion Week, I love celebrating the great days of our church faith, our Christian

faith. But this Thanksgiving thing, it's so critical to all of life. And what a great reminder.

Once a year that all the year throughout, we're to be thanking the Lord, giving thanks with joyful

hearts. So we're unpacking Psalm 100 this week, a Psalm forgiving thanks. The only Psalm in the Jewish

Psalm book that is specifically titled this way, that it's a Psalm forgiving thanks. And we've talked

about how in the 1500s this Psalm was set to metrical verse and has been used to the tune we know is the doxology.

So I'd encourage you to go on YouTube and find one of those renditions.

They're contemporary ones.

There are more traditional, conservative ones.
