Dear God,
Today I have again chosen You as my God, and Your Son, Jesus Christ as my Saviour, for I love You and believe in You both and Your Holy Scriptures. Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness or joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” It is such an affirmation of what You can do in the life of someone who has given their whole heart to You, and then studies and believes all of the scriptures and builds up a relationship with their God on high; and in the process has learned to have absolute faith in all that is inspired by You our Most righteous and Holy God.
To have Your presence near, even on earth fills us with absolute humble awe. Then to experience a joy that is full and rich, is what people pay lots of money for, and here it is, for free, with no deleterious effects or weariness. Your righteous right hand always protects and delivers us, and now at You right hand we have the promise of ‘pleasures forevermore’, for You also give us the hope that through Jesus we will live with You the Father, and Jesus our Conquering King and myriads of angels, along with the redeemed from earth.
Isaiah 26: 3 “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” By Your grace and revelation of Yourself with promises of good toward Your children here on earth, comes healing for our mind and soul, when we focus upon You and not our problems. This is seen in the lives of many and for them; gone is complete sadness and undue anxiety, and again all for free, without any adverse effects.
I express the joy You fill me with, and with renewed sensitivity, have desire to review all Your Creation, blessings and every day answers to prayer. I pray that anyone who is down, depressed or unduly oppressed and anxious, will find Your answers for them and be filled with Your joy every day.
Philippians 4: 4 “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.”
