There's joy for me right where I am, because He is here.

A Bible affirmation for being present, rooted in Psalm 16:11.

You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

Psalm 16:11 · BSB

Reflection

Pleasures at God's right hand aren't only for someday. David found the path of life by walking with God now. You can taste a little of forever in this moment.

A prayer

Lord, open my eyes to the joy in this moment. I don't want to miss it.
