Read: Psalm 16:9-11 NRSV
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;
my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol,
or let your faithful one see the Pit.
You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.
This is the great hope of all who mourn: a day is coming when sorrow will be no more. The Psalms look ahead to a joy beyond this world, a joy that is found in God’s eternal presence. In His kingdom, evil and death will be defeated, and we will dwell in unending peace and delight.
Pray: Jesus, thank You for preparing a place where there will be no more death, mourning, or pain. Keep my eyes fixed on that day, and help me live in light of Your coming joy.
