I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8

This verse has penetrated my heart lately. "He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved!" What a powerful statement, even more powerful when you let it soak into your heart instead of your head. He, God, the maker of heaven and earth, the King of kings, God most high, is ALWAYS at my right hand. All I have to do is take it and "I shall not be moved!"
Then further down in that Psalm it says, "You will show me the path of life, in Your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore" (vs 11)
All God asks us to do is to love Him, the second part of that is that we should love our neighbors as ourselves, but here's the thing... if we love God, I mean, truly love God, spend time each day in adoration (telling God how much we love Him) then loving others flows out of our love for God himself. It becomes automatic, 'in His presence is FULLNESS of joy". Out of that fullness, we love those around us without even trying!
GOD IS GOOD!
So this next week, I encourage you to take some time to adore God, tell Him you love Him, thank Him for who He is and watch Him open up the floodgates of love to those around you!
