  1. Make The Lord Your Supreme Treasure Psalm 16

  2. Psalm 16:1-4 A Mikhtam of David. 1 Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. 2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.” 3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

  3. Psalm 16:5-8 5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. 7 I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. 8 I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

  4. Psalm 16:9-11 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. 11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

  21. Make The Lord Your Supreme Treasure III. All of God’s promises of eternal pleasure are secured by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (16:8-11) 8 I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

  23. Make The Lord Your Supreme Treasure III.

Luke 24:38-43 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?39 See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; 43 and He took it and ate it before them.

  24. Make The Lord Your Supreme Treasure III. All of God’s promises of eternal pleasure are secured by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (16:8-11) 11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

  26. Application Questions • Your friend claims to be a Christian, but is not experiencing joy in Christ. He asks your help. Where would you begin? • Is it okay to enjoy things other than God (family, friends, possessions, etc.)? When do they become idols? • Does Psalm 16 alter your view of God? How so?
