If you’ve been following me on IG or TikTok for any length of time, you know that my first post of the work week is called “Monday Morning Joy.” 

Since the joy of the Lord is our strength, if we don’t want to start the week in weakness, we need to focus on our joy. When we do this on Mondays, it serves to remind us of the importance and power that joy contains to keep us strong for whatever comes our way during the week. 

Well, in today’s Monday Morning Joy I talk about keeping your Joy Bank on full by spending time in the presence of God. In Psalm 16:11, it says that, “in His presence is fullness of joy…”

Another verse I love that reminds us how to get into God’s presence is this one:

You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name!  Psalm 100:4 TPT

Do you see the connection between Psalm 16:11 and Psalm 100:4 TPT?

See, praise gets you into God’s presence and, once you’re in His presence, you’ll receive fullness of Joy! And fullness of JOY keeps you strong because the Joy of the Lord is your strength! Wow! Is anyone else running around the house, right now? That’s the power of praise! That’s the power of God’s presence! And that’s the power of JOY! And THAT’S the source of your strength!

Keep the Faith, LifeSpeakers!

Love,
Wilma
