Psalm 16 - Day 16

A miktam[a] of David.
1 Keep me safe, my God,
   for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
   apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 I say of the godly who are in the land,
   “They are the noble people
   in whom is all my delight.”
4 Those who run after other gods
   will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
   or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
   you have made my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
   surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
   even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
   With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
   my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
   nor will you let your faithful[
b] one see decay.
11 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.
Without the Lord, I am no good, I am lost, confused, nothing. He is my everything and I am blessed He has made Himself available to me! WOW!! No other god can compare to what my Lord offers. I've know many people who believe in other gods or things and they are always hungry and searching for more. There seems to be a void in their life. Verse 5; LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The Lord has chosen me! And I have chosen Him! He is my first and only choice. He blesses me during the day so I can rest at night. He has it all figured out, from start to finish in our lives and in the way the world spins.

This makes me want to get up and dance! I'm so happy when I read verses like this because it reminds me of how GREAT our LORD is. What He has to offer us if we just accept Him. No one should miss out! Go tell the world!
