Meditation:
Serve the LORD with gladness:
    come before his presence with singing.
    —Psalm 100:2 (KJV)
Quotation:
    Man was created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord and in this way to save his soul. The other things on Earth were created for man’s use, to help him reach the end for which he was created.
