Summary
In our third day of looking at Joy, we’re going to take time today to look at David’s statement in Psalm 16:11, where he describes a “fullness of joy.”
There is a greater fullness of life available to you and in me in God that most of us will ever experience. To experience more of God almost always requires laying down more of the things of the world. But if we, today, will give a greater measure of our hearts over to God, we’ll find greater joy than we could have imagined experiencing this side of heaven.
May your heart be filled to the fullness today as we experience God together.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 16:11, and today's worship is Fullness by Elevation Worship.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.
A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:
- Why do we read the Bible?
- How was the Bible created?
- Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
- What is the Bible about?
- What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
- What can I learn from others?
- How can I learn for myself?
I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.

| 1:01.5 | In your presence there is fullness of joy. |
| 1:04.6 | At your right hand, our pleasures forevermore. |
| 1:09.1 | By the grace of God, we have a beautiful inheritance of eternal and tangible relationship with our Heavenly Father. |

| 1:19.8 | The Lord is my chosen portion in my cup. |

| 1:32.1 | And later, as we just heard in verse 11, David writes, you make known to me the path of life. In your |
| 1:39.4 | presence there is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore. God has designated the |
| 1:47.8 | beautiful inheritance of His presence for us. Israel knew what it was to center their gatherings |
| 1:54.2 | around the presence of God. His presence guided them through the wilderness. His presence won |
| 2:00.5 | battles for them. His presence was powerful in the wilderness. His presence won battles for them. |
| 2:02.1 | His presence was powerful in the Holy of Holies. |
