DAY TWENTY-SEVEN

“Therefore, my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body will also rest secure,

because you will not abandon me to the grave,

nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

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.”

Psalm 16:9-11

COMMENT

On the day of Pentecost, Peter quoted this Scripture, referring to the resurrection of Jesus as a fulfilment of this prophecy. For you and me, the resurrection of Jesus is the guarantee that we will also rise again and have bodies that can never be destroyed by death or decay.  We have the promise of eternal life in the presence of God, forever enjoying the pleasures He has prepared for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9).

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Let you heart overflow with thankfulness to the Lord today that this life, with all its troubles and heartache, is not the end.  We have a hope of resurrection and eternal life that is always in front of us as a motivation to keep on living for God, no matter what happens in this life.
