*CAUGHT UP IN HIS PRESENCE*
The environment someone resides has a lot to determine his level of well being and disposition. We tend to naturally reflect the intrinsic attributes of our residing community.
Psalm 16:11
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. (AMP)
The above verse was the earnest prayer of the psalmist. He was convinced joy is not one of the innate attributes of the cursed earth that is full of toiling and calamities, but genuine joy is above the heaven, in the throne of God. And he knew for him to get there, he have to follow a path called the path of life.
Praise God his earnest prayer has been answered through our Savior, Jesus Christ! He came as the only way to God which a man can tread to God's abode. Every one that ever believe in Christ are ushered into God's presence. And joy is a core attributes in God's presence, as there's nothing that can disrupt the peace that continually radiate there.
A believer is continually in God's presence where there's overflow of joy. Therefore, we are not trying to put on a make-up of pretense to show we are fairing well. No, we are always joyful because we continually reside in God's presence, hence, we cannot but be joyful. When you're caught up with the atmosphere of God's presence, you will live above grief and live out joy naturally. Glory to God forevermore!
Have a joyful week ahead
