A Life Walking with God
The life lived in close fellowship with God is a life overflowing with joy!
Some people’s view of the Christian life is one of grim determination, a life where "commitment" means that I don’t enjoy anything, but that everything is about sacrificing what I’d like.
But listen to what David says in this Psalm: "My heart is glad and my glory rejoices . . . fullness of joy . . . pleasures forever." Does it sound like David was a solemn character? Where did his joy and gladness come from? He tells us, "I have set the Lord continually before me." That joyful determination to put God first meant that God got involved in David’s life. God was "at my right hand."
We often fall so far short of what we want to do for God, but we need to recognize that God never falls short, if we will walk with Him.

About this Plan
