Psalm 16

I am thankful for everything God has blessed me with. But sometimes I wonder if I am too focused on the blessings and not enough on the one who blesses.

Verse 2: "I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.'"

It is only by his grace and favor that he has blessed me.

Verses 5-6: "Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance."

Everything we have is from God.

Verse 11: "You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

And when our earthly treasures fail (and they will), we can always count on the joy of God's presence and the eternal pleasures of life with him.
