Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 16:6, where we read these words:
"The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good in-heritance."
Why is the regenerate Christian churchman *so* blessed, in *this* world. For a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that his or her sins are forgiven, and this leads to a quieted conscience. The redeemed soul is the only one that can, with integrity, get a good night's sleep.
Being given Jesus is quite enough--since He is infinitely greater than all created things put together. But, when we get Christ, we are also given His church, His ordinances, and His means of grace. What more could we want? If we are in Christ today, let us offer a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving to God.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Insofar as we are now praising God and glorifying Him for His mercy and love in Christ, we are in heaven before our time." --Richard Sibbes, in, "Glorious Freedom"]
