"If these devotionals have been a blessing to you, consider supporting our ministry so we can continue sharing God’s word with women around the world. Your generosity helps spread His light! 🙏 ‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.’ – 2 Corinthians 9:7"

Key Verse:
"You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." — Psalm 16:11

Devotional:

We often chase happiness in things that don’t last—success, relationships, approval from others. But no matter how much we achieve or gain, it never seems to be enough. That’s because true happiness isn’t found in things—it’s found in God’s presence.

Psalm 16:11 tells us that fullness of joy comes from being close to Him. Unlike worldly happiness that fades, the joy He gives is steady, unshakable, and not dependent on our circumstances. Even in difficult times, His joy can sustain us.

If you’ve been searching for happiness, shift your focus from temporary things to the One who offers eternal joy. Spend time with Him, rest in His promises, and let His presence fill your heart with lasting peace.

Reflection & Prayer Prompt:

  • Have you been looking for happiness in temporary things?

  • Ask God to fill you with the joy that only comes from knowing Him.

Faith in Action:

Take a few minutes today to thank God for His presence in your life. Focus on the joy He gives, rather than the things that feel missing.

Prayer:

Lord, I know that true happiness is found in You, not in the things of this world. Help me to seek You first and to find joy in Your presence. Fill my heart with lasting peace and remind me that Your love is enough. Amen.
