**Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. **Psalm 16:11
Do you see the three promises in this one verse?
With just a few words, the psalmist declares to us three amazing gifts that God has generously offered us.
His life-giving path
His joyful presence
Eternal pleasures
These three promises are available to us today as well as in eternity.
God offers us a way to live, a clear path, a clear direction that will guide us through every Valley and take us to every Mountain Top. He’ll show us how to make right choices, and to have the right priorities. He will teach us continually, as we deal with everyday problems and blessings. He will teach us
gratitude
mercy
grace
He will teach us to be good, gentle, kind, and patient with others. He will show us how to manage our money and how to live generously.
God will also show us how to give life to others. Whether as part of our day-to-day living with our families or sharing the good things that God does for us with others, or fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves so that they might live with hope. We may be able to share these same words of Psalm 16 so that they can begin a different life guided by His hand.
We can also live joyfully today. Because His presence is always with us. God is omnipresent, He is always here at our side… at our right hand...
comforting
encouraging
blessing
protecting
teaching
guiding
When we take the time to focus and meditate on the reality that the Creator of the universe is always at our side, then His presence brings us joy.
Walking in this path of life and being filled with joy brings The Eternal Pleasures into our world. We don’t have to live
unhappy
discontent
miserable
hopeless
discouraged
Because God has already given us help and direction for anything that happens today. That is also the path that will lead us to eternal life.
So, as a child of God we can celebrate these promises today. We don’t have to wait for eternity to experience
Life
Joy
Pleasures.
These three precious promises give us everything we need to live with
Abundance
Liberty
Hope
“For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”
Never doubt that God will fulfill his promises to you!!!!
