Psalm 16:7-11 “I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.”

Here we have a reference to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ!

Acts 13:34-38 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’ For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay. But he whom God raised up saw no decay. Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins.”

Just as Jesus was resurrected from the dead, so we too look forward to a resurrection. It’s promised. It’s assured! God is always at our right hand, and that’s why we have joy forever more.

John 5:28-29 “Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement.”

Reflection: Do you think about God and His Word when you lie down to go to sleep at night? “Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.”
