“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.” Psalm 16:8.
That little word “always” is important. If I only set the Lord before me sometimes; if I look away or turn away, he is no longer by my side. I WILL be moved, and i will lose my joy. The “therefore” in v. 9 connects ‘my heart is glad’ to the ‘always’’’ preceding it. We lose our joy when we lose our focus and forfeit God’s presence. Always, not sometimes keeping the Lord before me is what brings joy and hope.
