Psalm 16:11
You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
This verse gives me comfort. In the age of GPS, there are still horiscopes, and people searching, looking for a way...Here is the promise, The Lord of Life will help me know how to travel, to traverse the path of life. Where there are questions and crossroads, I will be told how to go...it is up to me to listen. For me, sometimes I need to hear His sarcasm, some days a gentle reverberation, and He always knows which. He is unflustered by my over-emotional rawness, or my weariness, or my anger, or hurt, or frustration, my confusion...my supreme ability to get lost. He has the answer, He knows the way.
The second line, hints at the very truth that He knows without having to be asked what we need, what we are searching for...there He is, ready with an answer. Sometimes I can't even understand the question. Yet, I can rely on Him, trust Him in both the question and the answer.
Lastly, the end...a promise of permanence, a promise of joys completed, of rest, and union. I'm not ready for Monday, I don't want the weekend to end. One day there will be no more ends to choke us up, no dread, no poignant crescendos.
