“The measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me.”

(Psalm 16:6)

Psalm 16:6 expresses a deep sense of contentment and gratitude. The psalmist looks at his life, not through the lens of comparison or complaint, but through the eyes of faith. The measuring lines, the boundaries of his life, have fallen in pleasant places. Why? Because he knows the true source of his inheritance: God Himself.

For those of us walking through trials or facing new seasons of life, this verse reminds us that true contentment isn’t found in circumstances but in Christ. Our inheritance is not defined by past mistakes or present struggles; it’s defined by our position in God’s family. Through Jesus, we have been given every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3).

Even when life feels uncertain or when old regrets whisper at our hearts, we can say with David: "My inheritance is beautiful." God has secured a future for us that is good, full of hope, and sealed with His love. The more we trust in His goodness, the more clearly we see that the lines of our lives, though sometimes marked with hardship, lead to a greater joy than we could conceive or imagine.

Are you looking at your life through the eyes of faith or through the lens of disappointment? Can you see the beauty of what God has given you?

God, thank You for the beautiful inheritance You have given me through Christ. Help me to see my life not with comparison or regret, but with gratitude and hope. Teach me to trust in Your good plans and to find joy in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
