APRIL 16 = PSALMS 16

Psalm 16: 8

“I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”

Anytime I have the opportunity to encourage you to dig into the Word of God, I make the suggestion to study the Psalms or Proverbs matching the date.

Today, let’s dig into Psalms 16 together. 

Are you wondering just how to dig into Scripture? 

Here is just a short basic way to get started.

Grab your Bible or Bible app and read all 11 verses of chapter sixteen.

After reading the chapter let’s break it down one verse at a time.

Psalms 16:1

God is the one who can and does keep me safe 24/7. So, I run to God.

Psalms 16:2

NEWS FLASH: I am nothing apart from God so I will choose today to stay very close to Him.

Psalms 16:3

Do I delight the Lord? Am I set apart for Him? I want to follow Your commands Lord and trust Your promises.

Psalms 16:4

I will not be like other people and run after other gods. I only serve and love you Lord.

Psalms 16:5

You alone have assigned me my life and in Your hands I am secure

Psalms 16:6

MEMORY VERSE: "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance."

Psalms 16:7

I need to seek God’s counsel first. God loves me so much that even at night he instructs my heart.

Psalms 16:8

Everything and Everywhere I go I have determined to set God before me. When I do this I am not shaken.

Psalms 16:9

When God is first in my life then my heart is glad; my speech is joyful and my body is rested.

Psalms 16:10

You will never abandon me!!!

Psalms 16:11

God, You have explained the path of life to me and when I am with You, I am filled with JOY! Your pleasures are eternal.

Now Read Psalm 16 one more time and let the Word of God speak to your heart.

You did it! What a great way to start our day!

Did the Word of God speak to you today?

Go ahead, take a little more time and dig even deeper into the Scriptures and be blessed.

Ask God to speak to you today through His Word. When you ask Him and Seek Him with all of your heart, you will not be disappointed. God sees your humble heart and will reveal Himself to You in a mighty way.

Today’s Thought:

Lord, You are God. Apart from You I can do nothing.
