Psalm 16:11
"You have made known to me the path of life; you fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
HE makes known - I can't discover or stumble upon the path of life unless HE reveals it and graciously opens my eyes to see it.
HE fills me with joy - JOY IN HIS PRESENCE. No earthly pleasure, person or thing can bring the true joy that God will, in His kindness, fill me with - joy that comes ONLY from His presence! Joy and pleasure that is eternal ONLY come from His hand.
So, why do I spend so much time, energy, money, LIFE seeking things that bring only momentary pleasure or joy?
BECAUSE I STILL DON'T GET IT! I understand it - I believe it - I agree with the truth but I still find myself in times and places where I'm stupidly convinced that this one more thing, or that experience, or, or, or - will make me happy.
IT'S A LIE! HE IS TRUTH!
