“…in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy
right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psa
16:11
Both Peter and Paul referenced this psalm
three times in Acts speaking to Christ resurrection. This psalm is titled
Michtam of David, and is titled on five psalms; it’s translated "stelography" in the Septuagint, meaning
an inscription upon a pillar; such as is erected by conquerors declaring a
victory obtained; suggesting that the psalm, or the subject of it, the death
and resurrection of Christ, was worthy of David’s attention and to be inscribed
on a pillar of marble declaring great joy of victory in Christ. Joy is not obtained through absence of hardship;
but rather in the presence of Christ to endure it; that’s the joy that builds
strength in your life (Neh 8:10). A soul filled with joy will preach the
loudest without ever preaching.
Joy
is what comes alive in ones spirit when they find their greatest gift is in the
presence of Christ in their life.
