“Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand, there are pleasures forevermore.” – (Psalms 16:11 KJV)
MESSAGE:
While others are looking at challenges, you are expected to be enjoying the beauty of Christ and celebrating Jesus. Do you know that the reason you are saved is to enjoy God’s presence? Many believers are overwhelmed with problems because they are not enjoying God’s presence which is freely available and accessible to them.

Consider where He brought you from; like the songwriter said, “You could not come near His presence; you could never sing His song. But the sacrifice of Calvary’s tree is the reason you can cry out today.” So why won’t you the enjoy Him, having received unrestricted access into His presence?

He spent quality time in God’s presence. How do you abide in the secret place? You abide by taking time out to study the word. You feast on His word, knowing that in His light, you see light.
