Father, in your presence and only in your presence is fullness of joy. When you fill our hearts with joy, no one can take it from us. The world, the flesh and the devil may try to steal it, but they won't be able. May we always be overflowing with joy regardless of our circumstances, regardless of the giants we face in our daily life and regardless of all the fiery darts that the enemy throws at us. This joy, abundant joy only to be found in the Father's presence. Men seek happiness in temporal things and work hard to get them, but they won't go far enough till they realize that such happiness is never lasting and changes like the weather. Lord, keep us in your joy always. Keep us from besetting sin that steals our joy in God. May we be so hidden with Christ, that no matter what the enemy does, we will be secure in Christ who is our Rock at all times. Amen!!
