“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:10-11 KJV
David wrote this Messianic psalm, “For You will not abandon me to the realm of death, nor will You allow Your Faithful One to experience corruption. For You bring me a continual revelation of resurrection life, the path to the bliss that brings me face-to-face with You.” When David wanted to speak of God’s Presence, there being no Hebrew word for it, he used the word for “face”. In the old covenant, they were not allowed to see God’s face but in the new covenant, Christ has opened the way for God’s Presence to be in us. The Holy Spirit now dwells in all who are new creation in Christ. It is God’s Presence in us that changes us from glory to glory. So Paul could say, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Let’s enjoy God’s Presence in us at all times and rejoice by singing a new song every time. Amen!
