Pleasures Forevermore!!!
So, check out this verse.
Grab your bible real quick and open it to Psalm 16:11. Psalms is an incredible group of what are basically artistic songs from a dude who may have been the most passionate artistic brother ever.
Psalms 16:11 starts out, “For you Lord have shown me the paths of life…” Where have you been looking for life?
Bethany, my 1 year old is incredible. Recently, she learned this amazing trick. When she was eating her cheerios snack the other day I went to her and opened my mouth to her as if to say, ‘Bethany, can I have some?’ She looked at me with a mix between a smile and a full blown laugh and then she did the oddest thing. She stuck her hand in her mouth and pulled out some partially chewed cheerio bites. (Many of you would say ewww but if you’ve seen how cute she is you would understand) She pulls them out of her mouth and offers them to me.
Now I was amazed. My little girl is so generous I thought. As she brought the pre-chewed cheerios to my mouth, as I opened my mouth to receive it, she let out a little chuckle and then, vooopp, she brought it right beack to her mouth and just laughed at me. Wow!!! I couldn’t believe hat she had just done to me. DID A ONE YEAR OLD JUST TOTALLY GET ME LIKE THAT? I was definitely in shock.
Now, why did I just tell you that story? I had just asked you a question, Where have you been looking for life?
Bethany offered me what was precious to her but then pulled it back. Jesus, He doesn’t do that ever. He says come to me and you’ll find life, my son, my daughter, I’ll show you what life is, what it’s all about.
Next we’ll talk about the rest of this incredible verse, Psalm 16:11,
I’ll show you the paths of life. -Jesus
