**Acts 13:35** — *"So also, He says in another Psalm: 'You will not let Your Holy One see decay.'"*
Paul, preaching in the synagogue at Antioch, reaches back to Psalm 16 and places it squarely on the empty tomb. David wrote those words — but David *did* see decay. His tomb was known. His bones remained.
The resurrection is the hinge point of everything.
This verse is not poetry about hope in the abstract. It is a forensic argument: David cannot be the subject of this Psalm, because the body of David decayed. Only One body did not. Only One grave stood empty on the third morning.
Scripture reminds us that our covenant faith rests not on sentiment but on a verifiable, historical claim — a body that corruption could not hold.
Walk with that today. Let the weight of it settle: the Holy One whom decay could not touch now intercedes for you by name.
Let us reflect on what that changes.
