Psalm 95:2, ''Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.''
Psalm 100:4, ''Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.''

In Revelation 4 we have a heavenly scene that portrays an hour when every saved person will be gathered around the throne of the Lord. It is a scene of worship, praise and expressions of thanksgiving. There is one parti ...
