You will show me the path to life,
abounding joy in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever. (Psalm 16:11 NABRE)
Psalm 16 is a beautiful expression of King David's trust in God, his faith in God's protection, and his joy in God's presence. It is a short psalm, only eleven verses, but it captures a spirit of how we who are faithful ought to be.
In today's verse, we recognize that God is in control, and if we will only seek the quiet time to prayerfully listen for his whisper, we will be shown the paths for our own lives. If we will only trust in God as David did, we will come to know the joy of being in his presence, in a limited way during this life, and in a full way forever in the next.
Today, on this Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter, I will trust more in God's plan for my life and less in my own.
Saint Eugene de Mazenod, who allowed the grace of God to bear rich fruit in his life, pray for us.
