Scripture:
“Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.” 1 Chronicles 16:27 NLT
Observation:
David had just brought the Ark of God back into Jerusalem. He made sure they moved it correctly on his second attempt. When it arrived in the city, he wrote a beautiful Psalm that speaks of the majesty and greatness of God. This verse speaks of God’s presence and where He dwells. It tells us that honor and majesty surround Him and strength and joy fill His dwelling.
Application:
When we come into the presence of God we should expect adoration with honor and majesty. He is great and glorious! In His presence we will find what the Psalmist found, strength and joy. As believers, we should be strong people and we should be filled with joy. People often think that Christians are weak and no fun. In reality, strength and joy are in God’s presence. We must learn to walk in His strength and His joy.We need to represent God well on the earth. Therefore, we should be filled with strength and joy. We need to laugh more.
Prayer:
Father, Your word tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. In Your presence there is strength and joy. Help me to walk in strength and joy today and every day. Teach me to represent You well in the earth and let my life demonstrate Your goodness to those around me.
You Are Awesome,
Jeff
