joy of God's presence

 ♪… my Place In This World♪

Saturday, June 28, 2025 (3:42 a.m.)

Awesome, Loving, Faithful Father God,

Thank You for the positives that far outweigh the negatives. I think of You and the list of descriptive words just flows. Thank You Lord.

(4:13 a.m.)

Thank You for the desire and opportunity to sit and explore Your Word. Turning first to 2 Corinthians 9. Then Psalm 112. And finally Psalm 16:11.

All the while still singing

♪…my place in this world♪

Lord God, how truly I thank and praise You for who and all You are. Inviting us in to be shown “the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever” (Psalm 16:11).

Illustrated Bible Handbook describes this psalm as beautiful. Expressing “satisfaction with personal relationship to God.” Regarding You alone as “the source of all good” (vs. 1-4). Assigning our place in life (5-6). “The one who guides us by His presence (7-8).”

Father, my own words are few this morning. Yet my heart is ever expanding. Having this time to search, find and read of other people encountering such deep joy and satisfaction in and with You truly delights me. I associate my own experiences with theirs and consider myself exceedingly blessed.

(4:58 a.m.)

Looking to You, I ask (Matthew 7:7a) that You would continue blessing and keeping me (Numbers 6:24). Make Your face shine upon and be gracious to me (v. 25). Turn Your face toward, SMILE! and give me Your peace (26).

I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Use me exactly as You know is best. Pointing to You every step of the way.

♪I’m looking for a reason

Roaming through the night to find

My Place in This World…

Not a lot to lean on

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world♪

 

Thank You God and Father. Praise You. Amen.
