I Believe in God, but I Just Want to Have FunНамуна

FULLNESS OF JOY

Every day, you will seek satisfaction, fun, and joy for your soul from someone or something. The choice is always between God’s good gifts and the world's temporary, often deceptive, temptations.

King David had access to all the good stuff the world had to offer at that time. He was the king! And we see in his story (read 1 Kings and 1 Chronicles) that he didn’t always make the right choices. But here, in Psalm 16, we see David pursuing pleasure in God. In verse 11, he prays,

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Ask Yourself:

-What fun and pleasure has God given you this week that has satisfied your soul?

-What fun and pleasure do you feel are not from God and need to be given up?

Pause to Pray: Make Psalm 16 your prayer today. Father, make known to me the path of life.

Take a Next Step: Walk outside, close your eyes, and remind yourself that you are in the presence of the Creator, the Gardener, and in Him, your soul will find its satisfaction. Then go and enjoy some good fun with some of the good people in your life.
