WEDNESDAY'S WORD: ​PSALM 16:11

11/14/2018

"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore!"
​Psalm 
16:11

Picture
Whenever you read a passage of scripture like this one, you understand why many scholars over the years have called David the "sweet Psalmist of Israel." This brief Psalm is filled with marvelous truth that causes us to see David as a great man of faith as he worships the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Yet I clearly remember learning years ago that everything about this man was not always wonderful and cheery. Some of the Psalms that God had David to pen are filled with images of mental confusion, emotional fear, relational conflicts, spiritual turmoil, and personal hopelessness.
So how could someone of great faith like David experience such varied struggles in his life? Because David is like Elijah, and they are both like us. James 5:17 says "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours." That is why you can find this warrior of faith facing the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel in mighty power, and then find him running, pouting, and hoping to die after being threatened by an ungodly queen. All of us will face mountains that intimidate us, circumstances that disturb us, and people that upset us. But in spite of all this, the Bible still says that in God's presence is fullness of joy!​

I must admit, there are times when I only see the ugliness of clouds on dreary days, and not the uniqueness of the clouds. It is during these experiences that I am reminded that our loving Heavenly Father sends us both sunshine and rain. And that rain must originate in those ugly, no, no, excuse me, those unique clouds. I have often thought upon Nissan Motor's successful marketing slogan years ago that said: "Life is a Journey; Enjoy the Ride!" I wish that I could say that I have always enjoyed the ride, but sometimes I just endured it. Can you relate to that confession?

No matter what you and I might be facing, we don't face it alone. God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He shows us the path of life; In His presence is fullness of joy; And at His right hand are pleasures forevermore! Each day that He gives us is a gift on the journey of life. LET'S ENJOY THE RIDE!
