Psalm 16:5, 6 - Christ Our All In All.

Psalm 16:5, 6 (NIV) LORD, you have assigned 
me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot 
secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in 
pleasant places; surely I have a delightful 
inheritance.  

Psalm 16:5, 6 (NLT) LORD, you alone are my 
inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is 
mine. 6 The land you have given me is a pleasant 
land. What a wonderful inheritance!  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   This morning I sat in my comfy chair, 
wrapped in a soft blanket, and looked out the 
window. The pond beyond our backyard rippled in the 
light breeze. A brilliant white egret waded in 
search of breakfast. Flowers dotted the garden with 
pink and yellow, and the sky stretched above blue 
and joyous. 
   When I read Psalm 16, my heart connected 
quickly to the words. Jesus, You have indeed set me 
in a pleasant place, and I'm so grateful. 
   But as I turned away from the window, I 
headed to my pillbox and the medications helping me 
function. My body throbbed and reminded me of its 
daily challenges. Scribbled notes on my desk 
demanded my attention. A family member was battling 
illness, and I was working to sort out needed care. 
Decisions and phone calls and paperwork loomed. My lot 
didn't feel very secure at all - in fact I felt 
like I was drowning. Not everything in life felt 
pleasant. 
   That's when I took another look at Psalm 
16. Jesus has indeed set each of us in places 
where we might spot delightful blessings - as I 
did outside the window. But the true place of 
blessing is anywhere that Jesus is. He is our portion 
- not our house, our work, or even our dearest 
friends. Even when our boundary lines include pain 
and struggle, we can embrace our situation 
because He is there. The deeper truth in the Psalm 
is that even in places that don't seem so 
pleasant, there is beauty because Jesus is with us.

beauty possible, even in one of the unpleasant
