You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psa 16:11 ESV
In a world the is ever looking for pleasure, where can we really find true joy? People had this idea that joy and happiness are one and the same and that it is elusive. They try to run after it but they can not find it. They look fro it among friends, approval of people, likes in social media, photos and videos going viral and the likes. The keep having activities that will make them feel good but after the day is done and everybody goes their own way, in the evening, before they go to bed, something is missing, they still feel empty. As if all the activity of the day and all the people they spent it with are still lacking. Here the psalmist says God fills him with joy in His presence. So there is our answer. If we try to find joy everywhere else except God, it will always fall short. we need to look for things at the proper place. You won't find your missing item if you are looking at the wrong place. You won't find your missing phone if you are looking for it in the wrong room. 14 June
