And HOPE maketh not ashamed...

" His delight is in the law of the LORD; 
And in HIS law doth he meditate day and night." 
Psalm 1:2

I've been thinking of the great joy we have when we abide in God's presence. There is FULLNESS of joy.

How often I've taken for granted... the privilege we've been given ... to come before the heavenly Father. 

What joy unspeakable is gained in the presence of the KING. Blessings and riches untold. 

The HOPE... that one day we shall behold HIS glory.

Happy are we when we bow before the King. Happy are we when we abide and give honor to the ONE and only true GOD.

"We shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water... that bringeth forth his fruit in his season... his leaf also shall not wither..." 
Psalm 1:3

So this morning I took time to jot down a simple poem... as a reminder that we are most happy when are eyes are fixed on the LORD. 

True joy is found in the presence of the KING...

LORD, HAPPY ARE WE 

Lord, happy are we,
When our delight is always in Thee.
By rivers of waters our lives are enriched. 
For in due season fruit shall we see.

O Lord, indeed happy are we,
When all honor is given to Thee.
Yes, happy are we,
When like Thee we desire to be.

O Lord, in Thee do we trust,
To guide and direct our way.
For in Thee do we find,
All peace and contentment alway.

Lord, in Thy presence alone
Are riches and blessings untold.
Thou art the hope that fades not away,
As Thy glory one day we'll behold.

May you delight in God's presence... and meditate on His goodness.
