The Bible says in God's presence is fullness of joy. When something is full, it is at the point of overflowing. It is at its capacity or should we say it has reached its limits. God wants us to be so full of joy to the point that we can't hold anymore and it begins to overflow onto and into the lives of those around us.
Are you full today? Are you full of joy or are you overloaded with worry and doubt? What is it that you are allowing to overflow from your life onto the lives of those around you? God wants you to be full of joy. He wants His joy to be in you to the point that it pushes out and presses out all the worry, doubt, and fear. We can be full of worry, we can be full of doubt, and we can be full of fear but God wants us to be full of joy. We have to let the joy of the Lord counteract all of the other stuff that is trying to consume our hearts and our minds.
Joy signifies success and triumph. You have to know that you are triumphant in God. Your are victorious through Christ. Not only is the fullness of joy in God's presence. He has told us to rejoice in Him always. When we rejoice in Him, we delight in Him and we are happy in Him.
So stay in God's presence and let not your heart be troubled. Be full of joy knowing that you are triumphant in and with Him.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
