Today's Scripture<br />

“You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your<br />

right hand there are pleasures forever.”<br />

Psalm 16:11<br />

JOY IN HIS PRESENCE<br />

There is something always missing in the lives of so many of God's children,<br />

and it is called JOY. God's desire is that we would experience fullness of joy,<br />

and rivers of pleasure.<br />

In God's Presence there is Protection, Provisions and also His Promises. You<br />

cannot enjoy these things fully without being in the Presence of God. When<br />

you have Gods presence with you, you need nothing more, and you should not<br />

settle for anything lesser. The presence of God is the most real thing you ever<br />

encounter. You go from strength to strength when you learn to stay in the<br />

presence of God all the time, not only when you are in need but at any given<br />

breath.<br />

Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life that does not depend on your<br />

circumstances. It doesn t matter how dark it gets, it doesn t matter what<br />

negative things happen to you. If you have the joy of the Lord that doesn t come<br />

from any outside source, but the presence of the Living God, nothing can take<br />

it away from you. That s the kind of joy I am talking about!<br />

When you stay in God's presence the fruit of your lip are praise, thanksgiving,<br />

adoration, worship, and gratitude. Doubts are gone, fears are gone, unsettled<br />

questions are gone. They do not exist in the holy place. He will not withhold no<br />

good thing to those who dwell in His presence, He carries them from strength<br />

to strength in His presence and they will be forever singing praises in the His<br />

presence.<br />

In the presence of the Lord where there s fullness of joy. Jesus said, Your<br />

heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. (John 16:22). God's<br />

joy gives you strength and empowers you to walk through any dif culty<br />

you may be facing.<br />

Prayer<br />

For The Day<br />

Dear Lord, I thank you<br />

for reminding me one<br />

more time about the<br />

importance of staying in<br />

your presence. Thank<br />

you for all the provisions,<br />

protection and the<br />

promises awaiting me in<br />

your presence. I ask Lord<br />

that in time of dif cult<br />

trials in my life I will still<br />

remain in your presence<br />

to enable me maintain<br />

my joy. Pour out your joy<br />

on me today and always.<br />

In the mighty name of<br />

Jesus! Amen.<br />
