I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. 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, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:7-11 (NKJV)
My soul blesses the Lord for strength and divine direction. If all men knew their charts and course of life.... How full will the joy of living be. But not even knowing it should be reason to live life more according to God's divine direction for us. Living by His instructions brings too many benefits to be easily passed up.
The Lord is a rewarder of them that 'diligently' seek Him, not just to quench the thirst, hunger or need for a season, but for a more intimate relationship. In His words are assurances that are invaluable and priceless. When we seek Him continuously and relentlessly, He's able to show us the path of life where true pleasures abound forever more. Relentless pursuit of Him is simply living smart.

Perfection in imperfection
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 (NKJV)
As I live everyday to your glory, I subject myself to the scrutiny of the Holy Spirit to guide and guard my thoughts, steps and every move lest I stray unknowingly in self-righteousness and grieve the Holy Spirit in the process. There are legitimate concerns in today's world, valid issues requiring our attention, important agendas and kingdom principles that we as saints must stand up for, protect, defend and guard, but in our passion and haste we can act and get ahead of the spirit of God making matters worse off than initially.
A soul searching and cleansing prayer is perfectly in order. As the Lord knows our frame, straightened, and sustained by His grace and the cleansing power of His blood. He makes perfection come forth in an imperfect vessel. The Lord, our strength, continue to lead us in the way everlasting, Amen.
