PSALM 16

9. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory (my inner self) rejoices; my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety. Amp.

Psalm 16 is getting to be a regular post for me. The Lord is speaking to me. Let’s see what He is saying.

David is saying that therefore because of all this I have many reasons to be glad and blessed. Let’s make a list of all he has done in order to be glad.

  1. He has found refuge in the Lord.
  2. He has made Him his Lord.
  3. His good is all wrapped up in the Lord.
  4. He has delight in the saints in the land.
  5. The Lord is his chosen portion.
  6. The Lord is his cup.
  7. The Lord holds and maintains his lot.
  8. The lines of his life are in pleasant places.
  9. He has a good heritage.
  10. His heart instructs him in the night.
  11. He has set the Lord continually before him.

Then he says, therefore, my heart is glad. He is rejoicing and at rest and safety. And most of all he will be shown the path of life. He will be in His presence with fullness of joy and at His right hand with pleasures forevermore.

It looks like a long list of what David has accomplished in his life. But really, they are all tied together and just come one after another because the Lord is in control.

That is the main thing we must do in our life is give Him control. When we follow Him, we do not call the shots. We must face the fact that we cannot make our way in this life without help. We will continually get into trouble. We need the Lord’s guidance in all that we do. Then we too can have a blessed life like David in Psalm 16.
