Psalm 36:7-9 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of
your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Can you imagine a “river of delights?” I’ve seen some pretty rivers, especially ones
that have lights in the trees that line the banks, gondolas floating down the
middle, and cool eateries alongside where those floating can stop and obtain
refreshment.
However, God’s river of delights is like none other. There’s this fountain right in the middle of
it – it’s always flowing – and those who drink of it live forever. Now that’s delightful!
The river Jordan led the children of Israel into the promised
land, and the enemies that pursued them drowned in the deluge that
followed. I’d say the Jordan is a river
of delight because it marked deliverance from Egypt – forever!
Revelation talks of a river of life that flows from his
throne, with fruit trees along the banks, and trees with healing leaves.
God’s river of delights awaits you. There is plenty of abundance for you and
yours. You can drink until you thirst no
more. And you can see his reflection in
the light of the river.
It’s a priceless ride down this river of delights, and he’s
paid your fare, so come along…
