COMPLETE

Psalm 16:11 "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

Greetings,

One game I occasionally play with my little nephews is, "Guess which hand it's in!" And yes, I have been known to switch the M&M's or other treat I am holding into the hand they choose so they can win.  They always squeal with delight, and I get a kick out of it.

But after reading this verse, where every single word is brimming with blessings, I have to chuckle at how small, insignificant, and temporary are the gifts I hold in my hand compared to what the Lord is holding for us.

Any joy, happiness, bliss, or satisfaction we find in this life is TEMPORARY.  When we are finally living with Him, however, our joy will be COMPLETE  -  complete happiness, bliss, and satisfaction.  The hope of our souls basking in the enjoyment of an eternal God finally fulfilled.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that You reveal and show us the path of life.  We ask that You reveal yourself to our children and those we love so they make wise choices and live with the hope we all have of complete satisfaction with You in heaven.  Remind us of this truth when life gets hard.  In Jesus' name, AMEN!
