Psalm 16
A Bible Devotion from Psalm 16
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
This is such a wonderful Psalm of encouragement to the Christian. This is a praise Psalm to Christ, Looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2
This is another Psalm that would be a great prayer to God. We all have a tendency to dominate our thoughts with ourselves. How much better if our speech and thoughts were filled with faith and praise to Christ. We look to Christ as our Lord, our portion of our inheritance, the One who maintains our lot, Who gives us counsel, and Who is always at our right hand.
What are the results of having this attitude before us at all times? My heart is glad, my glory rejoices, and my flesh will rest in hope. Verse 9
What do we know of God? You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Verses 10-11
Pray today that you will lift your heart in praise to God no matter what the day brings.
