PLEASURES FOREVERMORE
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have
a goodly heritage (Psalm 16:6).
God didn’t bring you to the world so you could
struggle through life. Jesus said, “Come unto
me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). The life He’s given
us is one of blessings, joy, and pleasures forevermore.
Everything God made, including the world around you,
was created for your benefit. He’s given you richly all
things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17); so, enjoy your life.
Think about it: in the Book of Genesis, the Bible
says God placed man in the garden that He made—the
Garden of Eden—and Eden means pleasure. Can you
imagine that God put His first man in the garden of
pleasure? And He made sure all things were ready
before He created man, and placed him in the garden.
From the very beginning, God determined that our
lives should be full of pleasure—enjoyment!
David understood this and exclaimed, “The lines
are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage” (Psalm 16:6). The Contemporary
English Version gives us a clearer picture; it says, “You
make my life pleasant, and my future is bright.” What
a confession! In the eleventh verse, he said, “…in thy
presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11).
Psalm 5:12 (AMPC) says, “For You, Lord, will
bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who
is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a
shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure
and favour).” We were born right into God’s presence,
where there’s fullness of joy, and everlasting pleasure.
He’s already done all that’s necessary for you to have
a pleasant life today, and a glorious tomorrow. Have
this consciousness. In John 10:10 (AMPC), Jesus said,
“...I came that they may have and enjoy life, and
have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).”
Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
My life is for the glory of God; He’s made me fruitful
and productive, and I walk in His righteousness. His
divine power has given me all things that pertain to
life and godliness, and I abide forever in His presence,
where I prosper, reign, and enjoy life to the full.
Blessed be God!
