What if your entire life of worship hinged on one truth? In this powerful message from Psalm 100, we're reminded that everything changes when we believe—truly believe—that God is good.

God is the remedy for our despair! No matter how bad a situation may seem, we should cry out to God and wait for his help. He promises to be with us! 

Our attitude matters. In every circumstance, we have a choice: to be grateful for what God has given us or to envy what others have or what we wish we had.
