Majestic splendor emanates from Him, He is the source of strength and joy.
In the hunt for a joy-filled life, there is a simple and easy way to get there: seeking God's presence.
When we hunt His presence, when we seek Him, we can find ourselves in a cycle where we take on those attributes of Christ, which in turn makes us seek His presence more. It's a beautiful cycle, which generates glory for Him, glory which reflects in and through our lives.
But why is this important? Why is this needed?
Well first, God desires a relationship with us. He calls us sons and daughters, This cannot be reiterated enough. He wants us to be His children, and to do that, we must spend time with Him. And beyond that, we should desire that type of communion. When we accept Christ into our lives, with enter into a convent with Him. Something eternal, and glorious.
The second reason this is important is because by focusing on God, and by finding Him, we both create and fulfill the requirements for a joy-filled life. The Bible is clear that focusing our attention on God leads to a state of being that can be considered joy-filled.
And joy is a state of being that we should strive for. It's a steady, even emotion, without the highs and lows of happiness, and it's a lingering emotion, unlike the ephemeral nature of happiness. And why it might not burn in our hearts as brightly, it's a more fulfilling and lasting thing.
A joy-filled life is one that is well lived.
So search for that peace. Give Him praise and worship. Seek out the majestic splendor which emanates from Him, and always remember that He is the source of strength and joy.
