In His Presence Is the Fullness of Joy

Readings:
Psalm 16
Galatians 3:10-18

Focus:
Psalm 16:11b: "In your presence is the fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures for evermore."

The greatest thing to me about Christianity, after the overwhelmingly wonderful gift of salvation, is that it brings so much happiness and contentment to life, even in the midst of hardships. I would not trade it for all the riches, fame, or anything else that the world counts as worth having.

I am astonished, in fact, that people might not want it, because God has brought such joy to me. In fact, people just do not know him, or they have constructed barriers against him. Otherwise they would run to him themselves.

For indeed it is true that in his presence is the fullness of joy, and this will be for evermore.
