God saw fit to visit me this morning while I was meditating of Psalm 16. Here is the incredible blessing He granted.
Psalm 16:11 says You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand arepleasures forevermore.
and Colossians 3:1 says 1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
We are told to seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Psalm 16 says at God’s right hand are pleasures forevermore.
So the word to me this morning was “Look to Christ for pleasure and not to the fleeting things of this world.”
Christ Himself was speaking to the Father in Psalm 16. He loves and delights in His Father. And the pleasures of God are mediated to me through Christ. This is beautiful.
What an encouragement to not sin. we sin because we are seeking pleasure and are not satisfied with Christ. He is where everlasting pleasure is.
I say this to you believers who read this in an attempt to say with the psalmist “3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together!”
And to those who do not know Christ I say to you ”
8Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
Look to Christ, for satisfaction and everlasting pleasure and joy.
This morning the Lord “remembered my frame, that I am but dust” and in His good pleasure showed me His steadfast love. I hope this encourages you to seek Him.
The Sweet Life
