“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy…” Psalms‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬. We saw yesterday how “the path of the just shines brighter and brighter”.  Here the writer says that God will show him the path of life. But how does God do this? Does He do it with everyone regardless of their attitude towards him? Here in this Psalm, it becomes clear ‘how’ and ‘to whom’ God reveals the path of life. It is not for the sinner or hypocrite. It’s not to the outwardly religious person. It is to the saints on earth. It is to those who put their trust in Him. Those who honor Him as Lord of their lives. This path is for those who bless the Lord. Those who are willing to receive the counsel of God through His Word. He reveals this path to those who set God before themselves. This means that what He wants is more important than what we want. His will and way is to be honored above our own. There is great joy in walking on the path of life, because it is on this path that we can enjoy the sweetness of His holy presence.
