Joy in God's Presence

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

Reflection:
The sermon emphasized that true joy is found in God's presence. Unlike happiness, which is fleeting and dependent on circumstances, joy is a deep-seated assurance and contentment that comes from being in communion with God. When we take time to be still and recognize His presence, we find a joy that transcends our immediate situations.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to seek Your presence daily. Remind me that in You, I find fullness of joy. Teach me to pause and recognize Your presence in my life, especially when I feel overwhelmed. Amen.

Action:
Set aside 10 minutes today to be still before God. Whether through prayer, meditation, or reading a Psalm, focus on being aware of His presence and let His joy fill your heart.
