WHAT JOY
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of
joy; at thy right hand there are pleasure for evermore.”
Psalm
16:11 KJV
I
was on my way to bed a couple of nights ago and God spoke to my heart and
inspired me to write a devotion. It was
11:30 at night but I knew if I didn’t write it right away that satan would
steal it from me so I wrote it right then.
I wrote it and went to bed and three hours later, God spoke to my heart
again.
I
got up and wrote the second devotion and then stayed up for three more hours
rejoicing in the presence of Jesus. What
joy and happiness filled my heart to be in the presence of my precious
Saviour. I dearly love my family and
friends but it is only when I am in the presence of Jesus that I am filled with
joy.
It
is very important that we be obedient to God and do what He wants us to do when
He lays something on our heart to do because satan is doing his best to
discourage and defeat us. Jesus warned
us to be on the alert for satan “1Peter 5:8”.
Don’t let satan steal the joy that comes from being with Jesus.
There
is nothing that equals the joy and happiness that comes while being in the
presence of Jesus. That doesn’t mean we
have to pray constantly or read our Bible constantly but it does mean that
Jesus should have first place in our thoughts, in our heart, in our life and in
everything we do.
It
brings great joy and happiness to me to know that one day I will see my
precious Saviour face to face. How I
long for that wonderful joyous day. What
a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth
