Introduction

Psalm 16: Today’s psalm expresses total confidence in God. Steady awareness of God’s presence fills the writer with joy.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 16:5

You, LORD, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.

Reflect

How does the psalm writer express confidence in God? What is the role of God’s guidance in the writer’s thoughts? In verse 8, the writer says, “I am always aware of the LORD’s presence.” When or how do you experience God’s presence?

Pray

I praise you, O Lord, because you guide me. You are always near. You show me the path that leads to life, and your presence fills me with joy. Amen.
