In Your presence is fullness of joy – Psalm 16:11
There is something special about being with someone whose company you cannot get enough of. I love being with my wife Helen, as a couple, walking on the beach or simply having a coffee together somewhere. I enjoy such times immensely!
People in love find absolute bliss simply being in each other’s presence.
In the same way, being in the presence of God brings us great joy. It happens as we listen to Him speak in His Word; it happens as we pray.
But it also happens as we are alone in His presence – Exodus 33:11 The LORD would speak with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks with his friend, then Moses would return to the camp. His assistant, the young man Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the inside of the tent.
Joshua enjoyed God’s presence!
When we meditate on God’s goodness, when we delight in His creation, when we rejoice in the life of a newborn babe or the surprise of an expected blessing. The Bible says, Be still, and know that I am God – Psalm 46:10
Some day we will be in God’s presence for all eternity – God Himself will be with them – Revelation 21:3.
What joy that will be!
Today, delight in His presence right now, for He is with you every hour of the day.
