Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [ you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight].
I used to be so miserable when I went to bed that I wished it was time to get up. And when I got up, I was still so miserable I wanted to go back to bed. I was under the curse of not obeying the voice of the Lord or serving Him with joyfulness (Deuteronomy 28:15–48).
Obedience to God fills our lives with so much joy that we don’t even know how to talk about it. The Bible calls it “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8 KJV). Experience the joy of being in God’s awesome presence. Start your day by praising God for your blessings and worshiping Him with a heart ready to serve Him.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, thank You so much for the many blessings I enjoy in my life. Forgive me for the times I take the usual, everyday blessings for granted. I am so thankful for Your presence in my life and want to start each day with praise and a joyful heart, ready to serve You, amen.
