Day 16

PSALM 16: A personal trust in God

This psalm seems to be coming from a situation of security or even prosperity – a great change from previous psalms! Yet the psalmist is not deceived by this. How does he worship God in his attitude, words and actions (compare commandments 1 and 2 in Deut 5:7-10)?

Like 15:5 this writer will never be shaken. What is his hope beyond death?

How is this psalm fulfilled in Jesus (see Acts 13:35)?

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Thank God for the security and joy of knowing Him, and pray that He would keep your heart devoted to Him.

2. Pray that we would have eyes to see and welcome those visiting our services.

3. Pray for the Bradley family's ministry among Turkish diaspora in Germany, for a fruitful year in life and ministry.
