Devotional
Another top kingdom secret to living a happy life is ‘dwelling always in the presence of God’ (Ps 16:11). This is true. And I share this with you in confidence, there’s nowhere we can find true joy and happiness if not in the presence of God.
Key Scripture
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.Psalm 16:11 ESV
Refreshing for the Day
Beloved, no amount of wealth, riches, nor worldly possessions could buy you true joy and happiness. There is no satisfaction in them, the more you acquire them the more you feel to acquire more. But, in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures forever. Any wonder David stepped out early into the wilderness of Judah to seek for the Lord with his soul and flesh (Ps 63:1-2). It’s because he understood this secret. And the Psalmist also exclaimed ‘they feasted on the abundance of the house of God, as the Lord fed and gave them drink from the rivers of pleasure (Ps 36:8). Stay Refreshed!
