Welcome to this week's guided Christian meditation on ullness of joy . Our scripture is coming from Psalms chapter 16 , verse 11 . But first let's enter into worship by focusing on Psalms chapter 100 , verse 4 , psalms chapter 100 , verse 4 , where it tells us to enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise . Give thanks to him and praise his name .
Take a moment to lift up your voice in praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father , who is worthy of all honor and glory . Before we start to reflect on the book of Psalms , chapter 16 , verse 11 , let's get a little bit more centered . Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths as you invite the presence of God to fill you .
Now take a few deep breaths in for a count of seven . old the breath for a count of five and slowly exhale for a count of seven . Repeat the muscle as always . Don't hold your breath for this portion of the meditation . Let's begin with the calf muscles . Lightly tense these muscles for a count of three , now release .
Moving upward to the hamstrings , quads and glutes Lightly tense for three seconds , now release . Moving to the chest and the back lightly tense for three seconds , now release . Finally , moving to the arms and the shoulders . Lightly tense these muscles for three seconds Now release .
As we begin to reflect on Psalms , chapter 16 , verse 11, magine yourself standing in a beautiful meadow , surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush green grass . Imagine the sun is shining brightly overhead , casting a warm and comforting light . Shining brightly overhead , casting a warm and comforting light .
Feel the gentle breeze as it brushes against your skin , carrying with it a sense of peace and godly tranquility . As you soak in the beauty of this setting , allow the words of Psalm chapter 16 and verse 11 to wash over you . This verse says Thou will show me the path of life . In thy presence is fullness of joy .
At thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore . Take a moment to reflect on what it means to walk in the path of life that God has laid out for you 1how the next two minutes reflect on the following questions One , how can I carry this sense of Tw peace with me as I go about my day ?
Two , how can I share this joy and peace with others who may be in need of the same comfort and reassurance ? Thank you , thank you . Now . ,\ Lord, the next seven days and for the next seven days , lord , I receive your fullness of joy and thank you for the strength to tell others about the complete joy of being in your presence .
Again , lord , I receive your fullness of joy and thank you for the strength to tell others about the complete joy of being in your presence . As we close this time of meditation , remember that God is always with you , guiding you on the path of life and filling you with his joy and eternal pleasures .
May you carry the sense of his presence with you wherever you go , knowing that you are loved and cherished beyond measure . Amen , thank you .
