Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Some people, simply by their character and spirit, are absolutely delightful to be around. All of us have family members, extended relatives, friends, and acquaintances that we look forward to spending time with. Usually, these connections are an occasion for the sharing of love, laughter, and togetherness that is pleasurable. Frankly, the devotional times that we spend with God should be the height of joyful pleasure. For the child of God, our spiritual conversation and communion with the God of our salvation should always be delightful times. And its meaningful moments that we should never, ever, take for granted. I think about what John declared: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day,” (Revelation 1:10). Our Lord’s Day Worship with God, and the people of God, are deeply valued and special for all believers. But those private moments, shut off alone with God, are a taste of eternal glory with the Lord God. Don’t allow the haste and pace of life to rob you of your times in God’s presence. The fact that the Almighty God desires to meet with us is nothing short of amazing. God’s Spirit dwells within us: “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you” (1 Corinthians 6:19). That’s super great. What can be better than the impactful times of meeting in God’s presence with the Divine also dwelling in us.
Wow! We’ve got it good! VHH
