“11You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is a fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” – Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
Before travelling to a new place, I spend some time looking at a map to understand the direction, and path I am going to take. Sure I could let my phone or GPS tell me which way to go when I get there, but would I truly “know” the path or simply travel on it.
When relying on another entity to direct you, our attention to the journey is lost as we only focus on the destination. The first part of verse 11 above says that God makes the “path of life” known, not the destination. God gives us the path for the journey and is present on the path and in his presence we experience joy and pleasure.
In today’s world, we have technology and speed to get us somewhere (phones, GPS, automobiles, planes). Shouldn’t we take some time to enjoy the journey of life in the presence of our God?
When you think about life, are you aware of the path or focused on the destination? Are you able to enjoy the journey in the presence of God?
