Psalm 16
Protect 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.”
As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.
Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips.
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage.
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit.
You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Reflection
In you Oh Lord I trust.
You are enough for all I ever need or want.
How happy I am to fellowship with the saints.
In worship we glorify you.
You satisfy all of my hearts desires.
All food and drink are from you.
My destiny is in your hands.
My heart is only for you.
You show the path of life.
You never abandon my soul.
In your presence I find all joy.
In your love I will live forever.
Prayer
Lord of life and love, be with us today as we walk upon this earth. Make our lives a testimony to the love you have freely given through your Son, Jesus Christ. We live for you today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
