I see where God is at work in me and through me when my heart is set on rejoicing in Him. I can delight in Him as I travel through my day because He opens my eyes to see things that make my heart rejoice in my God.

Temple Dwelling
Okay, I could be stretching this a bit but. . .
Are we who confess Jesus as the risen Messiah, the temple of the Holy Spirit? Is not the Holy Spirit God?
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB
We have the glory of God residing in us and yet we walk around with glum faces, walking as if we are lost, stressed to the max . . . need I go on?
If this is our demeanor then we should ask, as David did:
One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty (delightfulness) of the Lord And to meditate (inquire) in His temple.
Psalms 27:4 NASB
With salvation comes our eternal abiding with our God. Are we seeking to dwell with the Lord in our very being? Do we delight in the Lord God and seek the Word as we meditate on the word?
For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:20 NASB
🌹O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.
