In 2018, we went to the Lexus showroom, narrowed down on the ES300. We required a new car badly. Our existing one had become old and had many huge repairs coming by. So we went ahead. Applied to buy through car loan. It did not come through. We tried two more times, yet it did not get processed. We were quite happy with the Lexus Rx350 we had. It had served us for over 10 years. Naturally we loved the brand. But seems God had other plans.

But as we were denied what we desired, we were sad. Crestfallen, we went to the mitsubishi showroom. We opted now for our second choice, a Mitsubishi Pajero. We got used to the car. We had no regrets.

Often I ask the favorite verse to the people I come across. This time it was a young lady who had a bright smile and joy was all around her. We came across her as we went to play shuttle badminton. Every weekend on Sunday morning as a family we have an hour to glorify God in a game we like as a family. We get to do so in an airconditioned indoor court.

Back to the lady, we later found out she was from God’s favorite country Uganda. Don’t bother in case you are not from Uganda. Note every country which has God fearing people is the Lord’s favorite. God also blessed Uganda with the greatest find of Gold in the history of the world. But all news is hush hush. A country which outwardly seems to have invested heavily into Africa including this country of Uganda could be exploiting the nation of this great blessing.

Many desire to be in God’s presence. We know that in God’s presence, there is Peace. Even Love and Joy are present in God’s presence.

Not just Joy, but rather the fullness of Joy. Yes, this means abundant and overflowing Joy. Let us go through the specific verse which says this to confirm that this is true.
Psalm 16:11 NKJV says
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
