“You will show me the PATH of LIFE; in Your Presence is FULLNESS of JOY; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” – Psalm 16: 1-11

Destiny is maximized by the LIGHT for FULFILMENT in LIFE: “You will show me the PATH of LIFE; in Your Presence is FULLNESS of JOY; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psa.16:11). Fulfilment is the state, process, experience, or act of being “FILLED to the FULL” with all of the Essence of our Existence. Fulfilment is God bringing to fruition whatever He has promised in our lives – lines falling for us in pleasant places (v.6). David, the Psalmist, experienced this sense of fulfilment; hence his assurance and affirmation of seeing “the Path of Life,” experiencing the “Fullness of Joy” – not mere happiness – in God’s Presence, and enduring and eternal pleasures at His Right Hand.

Every rational person desires a fulfilled life, but many cannot define what it means to them, to be fulfilled. Being an inner desire, fulfilment means differently to different people. To some, it’s accomplishing a heroic feat. To others, it may mean: possessing great wealth, attaining an elevated status, reaching career top, marrying a faithful spouse, enjoying a happy home, raising godly and responsible children, or running a global ministry. All of these are positive and desirable, but fulfilment is essentially tied to discovering and accomplishing Divine Purpose. Jesus said, “My food is to do the WILL of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” (Jh.4:34). Satisfaction is found in Sincere Service.

A Fulfilled Life is lived intentionally! It is not accidental – it does not happen by accident. A Fulfilled Life is one in which God has released all that’s needed to benefit humanity. The potentials within have been discovered, developed, and deployed to bring maximum value added to humanity. Purpose accomplished! Assignment fulfilled! God’s Gift to us is the Life given to us; our gift to Him is what we do with that life. Laws – driven by forces – govern every aspect of life. For example, the Law of gravity operates by the force of gravity. Natural laws require natural forces. Mental Laws require the force of habit or repetition. Spiritual Laws require spiritual forces activated by spiritual practices.

God’s Presence, the Force of Faith, and Pursuit of Purpose are vital to all spiritual laws. Sadly, most folks spend a lifetime seeking a sense of significance in wrong directions, looking for what they think can fill up their cups of contentment. They look to uncertain entities: people, places, and things, which like a mirage, gleam with the façade of fulfilment, but only bring dust to the soul. These are ‘gifts of life,’ not the Source. God is the Ultimate Source: ^“And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst” (Jh. 6:35). The Pathway to Fulfilment in Life is to seek first, God’s Kingdom and His Righteousness (Mt.6:33).
