God's presents or God presence?

Psalm 16:11  You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.


We want health, wealth, knowledge, a better job, a better place to live.

As David said, "In Your presence is fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11).  Presents or gifts may make us happy temporarily, but fullness of joy comes only when we remain in a right relationship with God.

If God gives you a rose without giving Himself, He is giving you a thorn.  If God gives you a garden, without giving Himself, He is giving you a garden with a serpent.  If He gives you wine without the knowledge of God Himself, He is giving you that with which you may destroy yourself. - A.W.Tozer

God wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything - we have all the rest.
Matthews 6:33
