WAKE UP TO JOY

Psalm 16:11 NLT You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

I woke up really early this morning and I kept hearing ‘Psalm 16:11’ going through my head. I couldn’t remember what it was so I looked it up and read the above. I thought what a lovely way to wake up and how blessed we are to be able to come into the joy of the presence of God Himself. You did the same whether you realised it or not. We just need reminding, don’t we?😊

Whatever our day may bring, whether it has frustrations or lovely memories to be made, places to go, things to do, we know we have a God who loves us so much He wants to be involved in it all and show us the best way to go.

It says we have the joy of His presence and it doesn’t come any better than to know our God is present with us whatever the time of day or night. Psalm 139 reminds us that wherever we go, even if you feel like you’re in the pits, even there, it says God will be certain to be there with us, sustaining, helping, and holding us up. What a blessing!

Why is it a joy? It’s because God loves us and is rooting for us. You could say He has your photo in His wallet.😊 You’re so precious to Him He even has your name written on the palm of His hand, and He’s thinking about you all the time. Isn’t it lovely to be with someone who loves you like that?

Just think, we have the joy of living with God forever, in the presence of the King of Kings, the One who never withholds anything good from us. The One who upholds all things by the word of His power which includes you and me and all that concerns us. 

Do you have concerns today? Then know that you can turn to your loving Heavenly Father to show you what to do because He’s right there with you. 

Enjoy being in His presence and the pleasure of living with Him every moment of your day and let Him put a smile on your face every morning you wake up.😊 Amen.
