You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. - Psalm 16:11
Lord Jesus, not only do You make known to us the path of life, but You are the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.
Life is found in You and nowhere else.
Thank you for the Cross. Thank you for revealing to us that the way to life is death - death to pride, death to ego, death to self.
Thank you for the gift of Your presence.
Even when we don't feel You, we know You are there.
Even when we don't see You, we know You are there.
Thank you for peace and joy that are not dependant upon circumstance.
Those who don't know You seek for pleasure in this dying world.
But those whom You have redeemed understand through experience that all lasting pleasure is found only in You.
Thank you Lord, not only for the hope of heaven, but for Eternal Life which begins here and now.
For You tell us, "this is eternal life, that they know You, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
Thank you for enabling us to know You.
Help us, Father, to know You more deeply.
Amen.
The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
Psalm 14:2
