"I am always thinking of the Lord, and because He is so near. I never need to stumble or to fall. Heart, body, and soul are filled with joy."    ~  Psalm 16:8 & 9 (LAB) Bible Commentary :  "It is our human nature to make our own plans and then ask God to bless them. Instead, we should seek God's will first. By constantly thinking about the Lord and his way of living, we will gain insights that will help us make right decisions and live the way God desires. "God does not exempt believers from the day-to-day circumstances of life. Believers and unbelievers alike experience pain, trouble, and failure at times. David (writer) was talking about the unique sense of security felt by believers. Unbelievers have a sense of hopelessness about life and confusion over their true purpose on earth. Those who seek after God, however, can move ahead confidently with what they know is right and important in God's eyes."     ** (No Karen's Korner yesterday due to the Sunday Easter edition!)
