God’s Presence is Enough

There is something about Psalms 16:

that makes me chuckle.

- the beauty of God’s love

- The assurance of His love and protection

- The affirming of Father’s guidance

- Father’s promise

Listen to verses 5-11

“Yahweh, you alone are my inheritance. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion. You hold my destiny and its timing in your hands. Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places.

EASY says “You, Lord, are all that I need. What you give to me is enough, for me and for my descendants.”

‭‭God’s presence is enough for me.

I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you! The way you counsel me makes me praise you more, for your whispers in the night give me wisdom, showing me what to do next.

Because I set you, Yahweh, always close to me, my confidence will never be weakened, for I experience your wraparound presence every moment.

….No! No! No!

Your confidence will never be weakened because we have found in God your safe place.

My heart and soul explode with joy—full of glory! Even my body will rest confident and secure. For you will not abandon me to the realm of death, nor will you allow your Faithful One to experience corruption.

……

Because of you, I know the path of life, as I taste the fullness of joy in your presence. At your right side I experience divine pleasures forevermore!” Vs 11

‭‭

I love the way MSG relays it

“Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭MSG‬‬

This year- pursue God’s presence

Cherish God’s presence

Prioritise God’s presence

And all others will be added- Joy, clarity, peace, guidance, protection, solution, provision- you name that need it burden- they are all embedded in God’s presence.

Remember, God’s presence is enough for you.
