Directions For Life (Psalm 16:1-11)
Hilary Williams, 17/01/2021Part of the Miscellaneous 2019-2021 series, preached at a Pulpit Series service
Psalm 16. Ps Hilary Williams opens up one of the best known psalms in this message. In times of crisis, such as our present COVID-19 world, this passage provides us with focus and calm. From start to finish, we are reminded that there is grave danger in doing what humans so often do - that is, pursuing God and something else for our lives. We will know true freedom and direction, when our worship is undivided in attention and free from distraction.

Psalm 16
A Miktam of David.
16:1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (ESV)
