Psalm 16 ~ Refuge

Psalm 16

A Miktam of David.

1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. 

I say to the LORD,

"You are my Lord; I have no good apart from You."

3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, 

in whom is all my delight.

4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; 

their drink offerings of blood 

I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.

5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot.

6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; 

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; 

in the night also my heart instructs me.

8 I have set the LORD always before me; 

because 

He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; 

my flesh also dwells secure.

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, 

or let Your holy one see corruption.

11 You make known to me the path of life; 

in Your Presence 

There is fullness of joy; 

at your Right hand are pleasures forevermore. 

As the earth begins to sleep, for winter, Texas is still in autumn. 

Most of the ocean states, the southern portion, have autumn.  

And as a gardener, it is a delight to have a pause from looking for pest, pestilence and watering.  Delightful to see color, not from diligent effort but the intense yellows of God's Good Creation and the fullness of His Plan.

This rest comes from His Plan and the joy as well. 

As all color begins to sleep, the oceans not so blue, but grey, He gives a sense of Life, Abundant Life.  

Another of His Grace upon Grace gifts.

John 1 

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. 

He was in the beginning with God. 

All things were made through Him, 

and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 

In Him was Life, 

and the Life was the Light of men.

The Light shines in the darkness,

 and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 14:31 

I do as the Father has commanded Me, 

so that the world 

may know 

that 

I Love the Father. 

Rise, let us go from here.

We will move past winter, and as the vivid color of Life is then a memory, suddenly, the Lord's Good News is seen by sight, fulfilling faith.

Proverbs 19:21 

The purpose of the Lord will stand.

We'll Trust God.

Abba, Father,

You make known to me the path of Life and
In Your presence, there is fullness of Joy
at Your Right Hand are pleasures forever
and this we know to be
Jesus the Christ of God.

The Future is always in Your Capable Hands.
