Pour out your heart before the Lord

It is so glorious to be in the presence of the Lord!!!

In the book of Ezra, the people came back to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity. The people were so excited when just the foundation of the temple was being built. They wanted to be in the presence of the Lord. The Bible says they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord!! They shouted with a great shout because the foundation was laid. Ezra 3:11. The temple was the place where the people could meet with the Lord and be in His presence!!!

How much more for us as believers to be excited to be in the presence of the Lord pouring out our hearts before Him as we meet with Him in prayer and the Word!! Come before the throne of grace boldly!!! (Hebrews 4)

Ladies,
 Please be in your word today. Please seek His face. Please find joy in Him today by being in His presence.

In Psalm 16:11, the Bible says, You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures evermore.

If we don't meet with Him how can we find the path He wants us on?
If we are lacking joy, could it be that we are not in His presence?
Are we seeking pleasures of our own? Look for pleasures by spending time with our Lord and Savior.
