Psalm 16:8-11
I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalm 16:8-11, NIV)

When we choose to keep our eyes on Jesus, we can experience joy, rest, and a sense of security that nothing else can provide. As we face life's challenges, let us hold onto the truth that God is always with us, guiding us through the darkest moments.
