River of Delight

I don't know where everyone is in their reading of the Scriptures this year but I am slightly behind as I find myself in Psalm 36 this morning.  My goal is to read through the Scriptures twice this year for two reasons. One because His Word is lamp to my feet and a light to my path...i would certainly stumble and fall more than I do, without God's daily influence in my life. Secondly, because of the pure delight--there is so much hidden truth and treasure to be found.  Like this morning's treasure in Psalm 36:

 

7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 They feast on the abundance of your house,

and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

9 For with you is the fountain of life;

in your light do we see light.

 

10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,

and your righteousness to the upright of heart!

11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,

nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There the evildoers lie fallen;

they are thrust down, unable to rise.

 

I love how David writes, “They feast on the abundance of your house,

and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life;”

THE RIVER OF YOUR DELIGHTS…isn’t that a beautiful thought? May each of you taste and see that the Lord is good today.

“The Lord God is a stronghold in the day of trouble, he knows those who trust in him.”  Nahum 1:7
