Spoken Word / Exhortation (Joe Mettle):
"Sometimes I feel like we don't thank God enough. Many things that sometimes we trust God for, the keys are in our hands but sometimes we don't even apply them. I love how the Message Bible puts it in Psalm 100: 'Enter with the password: Thank You.' Which means that the password I've always needed all this time was in my hand. All I needed to do was to show some gratitude."
