Reading this Psalm between the lines, you may hear what must be the communion of Jesus with his Heavenly Father. What David felt in his soul, appeared in the same nature of what Jesus lived.
Our Creator is launching this invitation with open arms: communicate, develop a relationship with us, identical with that of Jesus.
Our daily choices, our choice of actions will determine the depth of this relationship. More
the believer chooses a life that is separate to God (a sanctified life) the more it will taste the joy of His presence in her home.
The tranquility of the heart during turbulent events comprise our wealth.
strength and compassion in our time of intercession, courage and boldness to share the good news in Jesus Christ to those around us, will be part of our way of life.
The decision of this set aside for our God, will allow the Spirit grace in us, to touch souls and watering thirsty for justice peace and love.
Psalm 16 January Hymn of David. Keep me (protect me) Oh God! Because I seek my refuge in you.
This reflex should be ours! Is this the case for you, dear reader, and reader?
Anytime we should seek shelter in our God, ask His guidance, His support, which could help to keep our soul in peace.
2 I will say of the LORD, Thou art my Lord, (You are my master) You are my highest good! (All my happiness is in you.) The saints who are in the country, pious men are the subject of my affection.
(I am full of affection for those who belong to you in the country: they are the ones who are really great.)
Is it well for the people of our community?
Are we full of affection that characterizes us as a Christian congregation or our meeting just became a center of social gathering for those who share the same faith, the same expectations?
Our church is it open to those outside or likes it only in his inner circle?
Our community wishes she really enlarge His family, go to rescue lost sheep wandering here and there on the road to perdition?
An honest response to these questions demonstrate the depth of our intimacy with our Lord. More
we will forge a strong relationship with our Redeemer most desires, expectations become our own.
4 It multiplies the idols, they run after strange gods: (But all who are working to woo the other gods only increase their torment) I do not pour out their libations of blood, I do not put not their names on my lips. (The names of these idols will not pass my lips.)
In our society today, we see that people have fulfilled their spiritual void with all sorts of fanciful gods.
This verse exhorts the disciple or not to comply with this century, not to go back and get help in his old beliefs.
Watching them chase for the false god, seeing them put their trust in the chimeras depicted well, it does shoot he not introduce the Faithful and True?
feels it does not desire them to meet Jesus, who alone has a life full of abundance?
5 The LORD is my portion (my hand) and my cup, thou assure me my lot;
(You're guaranteed the part that I received.)
6 A delightful inheritance 'm has expired, I paid a great possession.
7 I bless the Lord, my adviser, the very night my heart exhorts me. (Which, even at night, lights my thoughts.)
8 I have set the Lord before my eyes when he is at my right, I shall not.
(Since it is near me, nothing can shake me.)
9 Therefore my heart is joy, joy in my mind and my body rests in safety.
10 For you will not leave my soul in hell (you will not abandon me in the grave), neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life; It yad'abondantes joys in your presence, eternal delights at your right hand. (Fullness of joy in your presence, and eternal happiness with you.)
Has there be assurance that the depth of our soul?
We saw the benefits of a close and intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father: a joyful heart and a mind filled with joy?
Has God allowed us to become our representative?
we allow Him to exhort us?
To stay on our right: a symbol that he leaves everything in His control?
Prayer:
" Lord, today, while I'm there at your feet and I get in my mind your words of love, I want to give this day, this night thy hands. I want to ask my gaze not on the anguish of my soul, but on the beauty of Thy faithfulness. Thank you for coming, thank you for choosing me and called ! "
good week in his presence!
