Lord, you alone
are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have
fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I
will praise the Lord, who counsels
me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will
not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also
will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor
will you let your faithful one see decay. 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. (Psalm 16:5-11)
These
words of David are so precious and clearly heartfelt. The Lord is the One we
need in our lives. He is our security, He is the one who makes plans for our
lives and designates our blessings. The Lord speaks to our hearts even in the
night – because of the time we spend in intimate relationship with the Lord, we
hear His counsel even in the dark and quiet times. Because of these truths we
can rejoice and rest assured that the Father is always with us…protecting us…providing
for us…guiding our paths…and filling us with His joy.
Father,
we thank You and praise You!
