It can be challenging to consistently live in God’s presence when our minds and hearts are crowded with other things. In the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to become distracted or overwhelmed by all of the responsibilities we have to take on.
There will be trials and waves throughout our lives, but God should always be our priority. Despite how busy we may be, God is with us through it all. Great joy and fulfillment can be found within God’s presence. The true path of life is not found in worldly pursuits but in our relationship with God.

The joy that God brings us is different. It does not come from whatever circumstances we may be in but through our faith and hope in Christ. We can have comfort in knowing that we are in his presence through every obstacle and triumph we experience. His presence and peace give us strength and security as he anchors our souls through life’s tribulations. The joy that he gives us is far greater than the joy we could ever receive from the world.
