In His Presence

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.~Psalm 16:11


In His presence is where I want to be.  I want to be wrapped up tight protected from the dangers of the world.  In His presence is assurance.  In His presence is hope.  There is no fear, only the comfort of His love.  In His presence is wisdom to guide my day.  In His presence is where I want to be.

To stay in His presence I have to make a conscious choice to meditate on His word so that I won’t get distracted by the zigs and zags of life.  I have to choose to believe Him when everything is telling me not to.  I have to praise Him for being God and being good and not just after a desired outcome, but in advance.

In His presence is the fullness, the completeness of joy.  Joy not based on circumstances but based on who God is and who He is in my life.  In His presence is where I want to be.

Lord,  thank You for even allowing me to be in Your presence.  Thank You for the peace and security that it brings.  Thank You for joy and love.  Thank You for being God and being so good to me.  In Jesus name. Amen
