Psa 16:1-2, … PRESERVE ME, O GOD, FOR IN YOU I PUT MY TRUST. O my soul, you have said to the LORD, “YOU ARE MY LORD, MY GOODNESS IS NOTHING APART FROM YOU.”
DAVID TRUSTED IN THE LORD, AND APART FROM HIM LIFE MEANS NOTHING! ALL THE GOOD DAVID CAN DO WILL BE FORGOTTEN WITHOUT GOD; BUT, IN HIM, EVEN A GLASS OF WATER GOD WILL REWARD!
Mar 9:41, FOR WHOEVER GIVES YOU A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK IN MY NAME, BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, HE WILL BY NO MEANS LOSE HIS REWARD.
Psa 16:3, AS FOR THE SAINTS WHO ARE ON THE EARTH, “THEY ARE THE EXCELLENT ONES, IN WHOM IS ALL MY DELIGHT.”
SAINTS ARE THOSE BEING SANCTIFIED BY COMING TO CHRIST JESUS! DAVID DELIGHTED OVER THE SAINTS OF HIS TIME; DO WE DELIGHT IN OUR BROTHERS IN THE LORD? EACH WITH THEIR UNIQUE GIFTS CAN FORM A POWERFUL CHURCH IN HIS NAME!
1Pe 4:10, AS EACH ONE HAS RECEIVED A GIFT, MINISTER IT TO ONE ANOTHER, AS GOOD STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD.
Psa 16:9-10, Therefore my HEART IS GLAD, and my glory rejoices; MY FLESH ALSO WILL REST IN HOPE. FOR YOU WILL NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN SHEOL, NOR WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.
David could rest and rejoice knowing that in his death GOD will be there to take care of him! DEATH TO MANY IS THE END OF ALL THINGS, BUT THATS JUST A MERE ILLUSION! IN REALITY IT’S THE BEGINNING OF LIFE IN HIS PRESENCE!
2Cor 5:7-8, FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. WE ARE CONFIDENT, yes, well pleased rather TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
JESUS ON THE CROSS HAD VICTORY OVER DEATH AND THE FATHER DIDN’T ALLOW CORRUPTION TO COME NEAR HIM! SINCE HE LIVES, WE SHALL ALSO LIVE AND WE WILL BE LIKE HIM! ONE DAY SOON!
1Jn 3:2, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed WHAT WE SHALL BE, but we know that WHEN HE IS REVEALED, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.
