Joy in His Presence

Today’s Scripture: Psalms 16:11 (KJV)

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Reflection

Lasting joy is not found by controlling every outcome. It grows as we remain aware of God’s nearness and welcome Him into ordinary moments.

Put the Word into practice

Choose one truth from today’s passage. Write down one practical step you can take today, then ask God for grace to follow through.

Today’s prayer

Father, fill me with the joy of Your presence. Amen.
