Fullness of Joy!

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11 ESV) 

What is joy?

Webster defines joy as as the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires. It can also be a state of happiness or felicity. Some synonyms are beatitude, blessedness, delight, and happiness.  

How do you receive fullness of joy?

The verse at top proclaims that there is fullness of joy in God’s presence and that there are pleasures forevermore at His right hand. This is an absolutely wonderful promise that starts out by telling you how to achieve it, “You make known to me the path of life.” Therefore, you ask Him for it. Jesus said, “Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:24 ESV) it’s as simple as that!

Therefore

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Rom 15:13 ESV)

“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:11 ESV)
