Show Me the Path of Life

5 Dec

Psalm 16 opens with a desperate cry for help, and ends with the confident assertion:

“You show me the path of life:

  • you fill me with joy in your presence;
  • you fill me with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

The Psalm explores the dynamic principles of a King under a threatening cloud, transformed into a person of noble radiance. It is the story of King David at a dire time in his life, and translates into the common experience of any and everyone.

This series of blogs identifies David’s circumstances and establishes signposts pointing to his discovery of the path of life and his transformation.

Stay tuned.

    He does show us the path of life. The times I have caused pain in my life or in others’ is when I tried to take control and blaze my own path or I made a wrong turn, not listening to what was right and not in contact with God. If we slow down and let him lead us, we choose to follow his path and love him. That’s where real life and goodnes will happen to us and our loved ones.

    Praise be to God! Yes prayer, and meditation on His Word, will reap all the answers of our meaningful requests to Him.
