Psalm 16:10-11 “For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me
the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there
are pleasures forever.” (NASB).
Hello,
As we enter December and Christmas time, I think of
everything going on in the world that can get you bothered, upset, angry or
even depressed. We cannot escape reality – these things are happening. But how
can we find joy in the middle of this – without trying to isolate ourselves
from reality? The Psalmist here gives us a huge insight – it is God’s presence.
Now, not only does His presence bring joy, but the fullness of joy. To me when
I hear “fullness” I think completeness – or something that cannot be filled any
further. What more could you ask for when it comes to joy, but joy which could
not be any more filling???
Struggling with joy – get into His presence.
Have a blessed day,
