Oh the joy brought forth at the alter of God! Oh the humbling reality of our position before him when we are before the mercy seat of his throne where blood was spilled on our behalf. Oh Jesus what sacrifice you paid for this soul! God you are my exceeding joy and I will praise you with song! Send your light and your truth in my life Father and lead me to your dwelling place!
“Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.” - Psalm 43
Friends let us preach the gospel to our own souls daily. Let us speak the words of truth to our own hearts that we might find God to always be our exceeding joy! For nothing of this world should exceed the joy we find in God. We were created to enjoy Him! Therefore when we walk these paths of darkness or feel the oppression of hopelessness let our prayers not only be for deliverance on our behalf, but that the Lord would lead us to his dwelling place. For only there, will we find the ultimate fulfillment of our soul’s yearning. God may you always be our absolute and exceeding joy!!!
