In Yahweh's Presence is Fullness of Joy

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."                       Psalm 16:11

From the moment we've first believed, we've became aware of the presence of the Lord.  We're always in His presence.  We're always belonging in Him.  So why don't we always feel joyful?

It's because of our unbelief.  See, Jesus needs to be real to us right now, in 2 minutes, in 2 hours, and in 2 days.  He needs to be continually sanctified in our hearts (1 Peter 3:15)--continually adored.

Our work and our choice is to believe in Jesus (John 6:29).

Constant joy is real--it's not too good to be true!  We as believers accept the gospel, so we should also accept every piece of 'good news' that flows from it.

We can't give ourselves God's joy, but we can yield to it.  We can yield to the cleansing truth of the word.  We can yield to the hope of glory.  We can yield to the love of the Holy Spirit, and be joyful no matter what.
