Psalm 16

My dear Ladies,
You may have read Psalm 16 many times.  Today I invite you to take  a deep breath, sit back and relish this passage with me.  It is so meaningful.  Take some time to think about each word, each phrase and how it impacts your life.

Psalm 16:1-3, 5-9, 11

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."
. . . .
O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen unto 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.
. . .
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Amen.  And Amen!

I have found that I am able to say, even in the midst of want and trials:  "The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places" because of the next line - I remember that "I have a good inheritance" awaiting me.  Heaven and living eternally in the presence of the Light of Life.
