David ponders the fourfold blessedness of believers.

1. We are under God’s wings (v.7) : Believers today are living in the presence of God at the mercy seat.

2. We are at His table (v.8): As believers, we share all that God has for us in His house. We are God’s priests in His tabernacle and the only ones allowed to eat the bread.

3. We are by His river (v.8): God wants us to live in paradise and drink from His pleasures. We shall always have satisfaction for our spiritual trust.

4. We are in His light (v.9): God’s light is different from what the world has to offer. We who have eternal life need not to be afraid of the wicked. If we want to see the lights in this world we need the Light of the World, the Lord Jesus.

The believer never should settle for what the world has to offer. Remember His mercy is always available to you.
