The fullness of The Joy of the Lord

In Acts 2 we read Peter's sermon when the Holy Spirit was poured out. Some of the people thought the people were drunk, but Peter refutes these arguments and quotes Joel 2 and Psalm 16 as proof that the death, resurrection and pouring out of the Holy Spirit were fulfilling the scriptures as prophesied many years ago.  Lets celebrate with David and Peter and the Disciples and share in the joy that our God is faithful to His Word.  What He has spoken will be done, what He has declared will stand firm, what He plans He will bring to fulfillment and fruition! He did it in Acts 2, and He still does it today.   

Psalm 16

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor take up their names on my lips.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

In your presence there is fullness of Joy - Shane & Shane
