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 Goodness of God by Bridgetown Music.

| 1:06.2 | In your presence there is fullness of joy. |
| 1:09.7 | At your right hand, our pleasures forevermore. By the grace of God, we have a beautiful |
| 1:14.4 | inheritance of eternal and tangible relationship with our Heavenly Father. Psalm 16 5 through 6 says, |
| 1:21.7 | The Lord is my chosen portion in my cup. You hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. |

| 1:45.9 | forevermore. God has designated the beautiful inheritance of His presence for us. Israel knew what |
| 1:54.6 | it was to center their gatherings around the presence of God. His presence guided them through |
| 2:00.6 | the wilderness. His presence won battles for God. His presence guided them through the wilderness. His presence won |
| 2:02.9 | battles for them. His presence was powerful in the Holy of Holies. God's presence was the sign that he was |
