"You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
What this says to me is we can find permanent joy in God, the father who created us. Drinking in excess, drugs, and other risky behaviors can have a joyous effect too. Some can even put you in a whole nother reality. But when it comes down to it there is no permanent escape. A person has to drink more, smoke more, get high more often or consume higher doses of narcotics. But Christ can be our drug, he's an addiction that has no harmful effects. The more we "consume" him the clearer our path of life is and the more joyous we become, it's just looking at Pslam 16 in a slightly different way. David, the writer of The Psalms, also says "At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." When we humble ourselves and connect with Christ's heart he lifts us up to a place that is untouchable and full of blessings and love. Amazing peace and joy and purpose floods forth from that place. Just press into him. He is always there waiting.Now I'm not saying I'm there and I'm not saying I'm perfect but I feel like I've made oodles of progress in my life over the last few months and I'm at a place where I can say I'm joyful again about my life, my purpose in it, and my future and for that I am eternally thankful. Blessings to you all.
