DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 13. 2013
THE RIVER OF THY PLEASURES
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. Psalm 36:7,8
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. Song of Solomon 5:1
God delights in giving us the pleasures of our hearts. When God looks into our hearts, he sees what our deepest desires are, and he delights in meeting them. Often, when a deep desire of our heart is met, we are brought to tears. Our heart is moved and made glad.
God has desires in His heart, too. His heart has rivers of pleasures. We are able to satisfy God's heart and know the river of His pleasures. He calls us His friends and desires that we drink abundantly of that which causes Him great delight.
Today, let us pray that we may rejoice the heart of God.
