Meditations on the Psalms 21:6

Psalm 21:6
"You make him glad with the joy of your presence"

Do we find delight in being with God? It is a joy to be in the presence of those whom we love. We want to be around them and with them. How much more should this be true of the God of the universe, the one who created us. What a blessing it is to dwell with the Most High. When we fell, we were cast out of the presence of God. We were no longer permitted to walk with God in the Garden. How our hearts long to return to the Lord, for as St. Augustine has said:

You have made us for yourself. And our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
