You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalms 16:11
God is faithful to lead his children through life. He doesn’t want you to commit your life to Him and then figure everything out on your own. As you follow Him, He becomes your prize, your pleasure, and your portion. One of the greatest joys of the Christian life is consistent, lifegiving communion with the one who made you. He can satisfy the longings of your heart. He is overwhelmingly good and consistently gracious.
In His presence you will find true joy and realize that being with Him is what you were made for.
In a society bent on the pursuit of personal happiness, remember that God’s presence is the only place to find true joy.
Any other good thing will only bring temporary satisfaction.
You were not created to manufacture happiness. Instead, you were created to experience the goodness of knowing the God of the entire universe.
You were created to know God throughout every season of your life.
Run into His courts with praise and follow him as He guides you on the path which He himself has laid out for you. It is a good path, planned for your benefit, and there is joy in His fellowship along the way. His path for you leads to eternal life.
He wants to be your constant help and companion through every single one of your days.
Don’t deprive yourself of the goodness He has planned for you today. Turn your heart toward Him and acknowledge that He is the best leader you could possibly have. Submit to His plans for your life and willingly follow wherever He leads you.
You can trust Him even when you’re unsure of your next steps.
