Discovering Joy with God
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.—Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.—Psalm 131:1 (NIV)
Charles Spurgeon said that Psalm 131 was “one of the shortest psalms to read, but one of the longest to learn.” In the psalm, David tells us that pride causes stress. When we surrender and let go of things outside of man’s understanding or control, we turn to God with humble hearts and trust Him with the faith of a child.
Dear Lord, may I walk and grow with You every day of my life.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.—Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.—John 14:18 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
