Psalm 16:11, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
This is a promise from God that He will show us the path – of life. This is really awesome. We don’t have to flounder and stumble through life not knowing which direction we should take. God can look out over the span of time and know the exact road that we should walk. He has a plan and a purpose for your life and mine. God is no respecter of persons. He will direct any life that is willing to follow His directions.
What’s the difference between someone that is accomplishing great works for God and others that seem to be doing very little? The answer is not that God loves them more. It’s because they have gotten on that path that God has called them to walk and they are following His leading. God will use any of us that are willing to take His path and not our own.
Please understand that not all paths are the same. God sees you and the mission that He has planned for you and He will direct you accordingly. No one job is more important than another – it’s just different. God promises to show YOU the path that YOU should walk, but, YOU have to be the one that gets on that path and stays on it.
I love the last part of this verse that tells us where this path is leading. It leads to fulness of joy and pleasures for evermore. This joy and pleasure comes from walking side by side down this road with your Heavenly Father. The circumstance of life may lead you into hardships and storms but you always have the assurance that God is with you and He will help you.
No matter where you are in the span of your life, it’s not too late to get on this path. Jump on now and finish the course with Him!
