In Your Presence Is Fullness of Joy

     In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are Your pleasures forevermore - Psalm 16:11.

                There is fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord. We have a great privilege of being in God's presence. We are not alone as His presence is always with us. My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest - Exodus 33:14. Moses longed for the presence of God. Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. And he said, “Please, show me Your glory” - Exodus 33:15,18.

           Mary loved to be in the presence of God by sitting at the feet of Jesus and hearing His Word whereas Martha was distracted by too many things. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word - Luke 10:39. Mary chose a good part of being in the presence of God where there is fullness of joy. And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her - Luke 10:41, 42.

               There are times of refreshing in the presence of the Lord. Repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord - Acts 3:19. We are fully protected by God as His presence is always with us. You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues - Psalm 31:20.

                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for the fullness of joy we receive in Your presence. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
