Often I ask the favorite verse to the people I come across. This time it was a young lady who had a bright smile and joy was all around her. We came across her as we went to play shuttle badminton. Every weekend on Sunday morning as a family we have an hour to glorify God in a game we like as a family. We get to do so in an airconditioned indoor court.

Back to the lady, we later found out she was from God’s favorite country Uganda. Don’t bother in case you are not from Uganda. Note every country which has God fearing people is the Lord’s favorite. God also blessed Uganda with the greatest find of Gold in the history of the world. But all news is hush hush. A country which outwardly seems to have invested heavily into Africa including this country of Uganda could be exploiting the nation of this great blessing.

Many desire to be in God’s presence. We know that in God’s presence, there is Peace. Even Love and Joy are present in God’s presence.

Not just Joy, but rather the fullness of Joy. Yes, this means abundant and overflowing Joy. Let us go through the specific verse which says this to confirm that this is true.
Psalm 16:11 NKJV says
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

In Proverbs 1, we read that we ought to hear the instructions of our father, not to forsake the law of our mother. Wonder if any child would have gone wayward if they did follow this.
