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

 

Have you ever wondered if you are on the right path that God has laid out for you? Life offers many choices of what to do with your life, what to believe in and who to spend time with. The choices can be overwhelming at times, but there is one indicator you are on the right track with God. Today’s verse provides some insight if you are headed down the right path God intended for you. Lets break it down….

 

“You make known to me the path of life”. God never will leave you in the dark. He has a plan and purpose for your life and reveals enough information to keep you going. Oftentimes we question if we are headed in the right direction when God is silent. God will tell you when and where to make a turn (or change). Until you hear His voice, keep moving forward and stay the course He originally laid out.

 

“in your presence there is fullness of joy”. I love this one. When you are track with God, you will find not only joy, but peace and there won’t be any confusion. Yes, God may lead you through some troubling times, but it’s to help you grow in your faith and strengthen your stride. God often allows trouble to come to strengthen us for the next valley we’ll have to climb out of. So never discredit when the path gets tough…He has a purpose.

 

“at your right hand are pleasures forevermore”. God is never short on blessings and as long as we keep a firm grip on His hand, we’ll receive those blessings and affirmation we are on the path with Him.

 

Life has a lot to offer, but there is one path specific to you and His purpose for your life. Follow Him with every step and you’ll never have to wonder if this is the path for you! God bless!
