PATH OF LIFE - PART 6

WEDNESDAY 02 JULY 2025

It is always good and well to desire the path of life, which God Himself makes known to us as His Spirit captures the sincere desires of our hearts, which are eagerly based on setting our minds and affections upon heavenly realities. More below!

Reference: Psalm 16:11 GOD'S WORD® Translation (GWT)

"You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever."

Indeed, the Almighty makes known to me the path of life; He fills me with joy in His presence, and with eternal pleasures at His right hand. In other words, gaining access to pleasures at His right hand denotes that - His unmatched authority commands pleasures among those who love and practise His presence.

I previously mentioned that complete joy is a highly equipped branch of God's presence. Yes, there are other boundless treasures in God's presence, such as righteousness and peace, for the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17 NIV).

Moreover, the whole branches are designed to particularize the aura of God's greatness, His glory, and His Divinity, and they equally highlight His unparalleled sovereignty and majesty. So we are filled with complete joy in God's presence, as we offer up the spiritual sacrifices of prayer, praise and worship. Got it?

The term "complete joy" conveys a sense of superlative satisfaction that emanate from acknowledging God's supreme nature, and beholding His wondrous and awe-inspiring presence. Then, the pleasures at His right hand forever, speak of all the riches of the glory of His deity, such as exceptional benefits and blessings, plus favours and inheritances, which the saints receive from Him and His dominion over all things. Stay tuned for part 7. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Jeremiah 29:13; Psalm 27:4; Psalm 140:13; Matthew 5:8.

Guided Prayer:

Precious Heavenly Father, I honour you today and always - for the great and precious promises which are constantly awakened and fulfilled in my life as I acknowledge and practise your presence. Indeed, there is unspeakable joy in your presence and unfathomable pleasures at your right hand, and I'm fully assured of them and daily loaded with their benefits because my active desires and longings for your manifest presence are constant and fervent, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
