BENEFITS OF A LIFE COMMITTED TO THE LORD
Psalm 16
“Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you. The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods. Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
To some degree, everyone walks around with an invisible “WIIFM” on their foreheads: "What’s In It For Me?" The LORD knows that, and this Psalm shares many benefits for us when we follow the LORD. (Remember, He’s powerful enough to have commanded us to follow Him, but in love, He gives us a choice.)
In this Psalm, David mentions many benefits: “Keep me safe O God,” “Every good thing I have comes from You,” “You have given me pleasant land and wonderful inheritance,” “You guide me even at night,” “You will not leave my soul among the dead (foreshadowing heaven).” “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
Prayer: LORD, thank You for ALL you offer me. I happily obey and follow You. Amen.
