Joyful Worship

Psalm 16:11 tells us we find “fullness of joy” in God’s presence. Even if we don’t “feel” joyful at the beginning of our worship, as we thank God and praise Him, we will begin to be filled with joy.

When creating an atmosphere of worship, it is essential to remember that choices lead, and feelings follow. Our circumstances do not determine joy; joy is a choice. Joy is not circumstantial but situational; when we situate ourselves in God's presence, we experience joy!

Like praying lifts our spirits before we see an answer to our prayers (Philippians 4:6-8), worshipping God without feeling like it will change us from the inside out. Regardless of what we’re going through, we will be filled with God’s incredible joy when we seek God’s presence and worship!
