day no. 15,313: one path, one presence, infinite pleasures

Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
in Your presence there is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

God provides a path that leads to His presence in which there are pleasures forever.

God's presence is permeated with pleasure. And that is good news. He has pleasure in aces and never runs out. He has enough to go around and back again and He gladly gives pleasures to those walking on the path He has provided. That path is peppered with previews of what we see completely in His presence. There is joy overflowing in the place where He is and along the way, a path paved by life abundant. We have been called to a life that is life indeed, that ends in more of the same.

Fun haters beware: Heaven is not the place for you. If you like long-faces, this is not your kind of party. There are times to be serious and we must take God seriously, but as we do, we do not find less joy, but more, not less pleasure, but more, not less life, but more. And even more in store than the path leading up to it could contain.

God has provided one path that leads to the one place where His presence resides where infinite pleasures are stored forevermore for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.

Psalm 84:11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.
