Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalms 16:1-11 ESV)
What is good in us?
How does anyone do good?
If we hear and believe what the psalmist says, no one can do good apart from God. Which means everyone that does good is filled with God… We have no good without God. But when we have Him we are filled with His goodness and it over flows from us to everyone around us. He gives us a wonderful inheritance and blesses us with more than we could imagine.
So look to Him to be your portion and your cup to fill you with goodness.
