I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing."
As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. b]">
The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
or take up their names on my lips.
LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
"I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
Because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:1-11
The Lord has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination. Beyond my wildest dreams. And today has been no exception. By far, this has been the best birthday I have ever had.
Not because of the presents, flowers, or cards sitting on my desk. Not because of the endless phone calls.
His grace is sufficient for me. His blessings are all I need. I will be filled with His eternal pleasures.
