Reading in Psalm 16 this morning. I love how David says "I have set the Lord ALWAYS before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved." David shows his deep commitment to the Lord here, his eyes are always fixed on God and regardless of worldly troubles the Lord is at his right hand so he will not be moved or shaken!
Think about who else might be at your right hand. If you are in battle the soldier protecting his comrade was at his right hand; God is our protector! In court the lawyer who represents the defense of another is at his right hand; God is our defender! In Heaven Jesus sits at the right hand of God, God is our savior! To be the one at the right hand is a place of authority and dignity. David was not speaking from the flesh here he was speaking from the spirit because our flesh resist putting God first but our spirit gravitates toward him always. David address the flesh next saying his flesh will also rest in hope.
Beautiful, so the lesson I see is when we put the Lord first nothing can move us for God is at our side, defending, protecting and ruling over us. When we follow this spiritual action our flesh will follow naturally with hope!!!
