God is everywhere, yet we are often unaware of His presence. During times of worship, as we sing and praise Him, we are focused upon God. He reveals His presence to us, and joy is one way that He does so. Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit moving within us.
Many have yet to learn that there is spiritual pleasure in worshiping God. Heaven is a place of everlasting worship and praise to God. It may be defined as the place of eternal pleasure for God's children, in His presence through the one at His right hand, Jesus Christ our Lord. The joy of the Lord is for now and then.
Let God fill your life with joy. Enter the joy of the Lord as you sing God's praise. Unfortunately, many people may have the idea that worship is a formal duty or a boring ritual. Quite the contrary, true worship in the Bible is filled with joy. It is the way to enjoy the pleasures of God. It is joy now and forever.
"You will fill me with joy in Your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
Psalm 16:11
"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs."
Psalm 100:1-2, NIV
