December 1. Read Psalm 100.

The psalmist calls upon the entire world to shout joyfully to God. The universal nature of this call is no accident. The LORD, God of Israel, is not some imaginary or tribal deity. He is the one and only God who made heaven and earth and deserves to be praised by all people. Although God chose the nation of Israel for special purposes, He also loves the whole world (John 3:16). He has provided evidence of Himself and His love in nature and in the Scriptures (Romans 1:18–20; John 5:39–40; Psalm 19).
