Today’s Scripture: Psalm 16:11 ESV: You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
David tells us here in Psalm 16 that we must take refuge in God. I certainly agree with David that I have no good apart from God and we can see this in the world around us too can’t we?
The sorrows multiply for those who follow other gods we are warned and we can see this everywhere. Why do we follow other ways?
When I choose to believe as David did, that the LORD is my chosen portion and my cup and that He holds my lot. It is there where my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; and I know my flesh will dwell securely because God will protect my soul.
In choosing God and His lot for my life and following the path He has made known to me; it is there I come to know the fullness of Joy.
Do you know the fullness of joy? Who are you following?
Today’s Prayer: Preserve me O God, for in You I take refuge. You are my LORD and I have no good apart from You. You LORD are my chosen portion and my cup and You hold my lot. Make known to me the path of life so that I may live in your presence and know Your fullness of joy. Amen
