River of His Delights

Nothing on this earth

really 

satisfies. 

We will only be fully satisfied in You, Father God.

Please, help us to fully get this!

 

When we awake

may we be 

satisfied 

with seeing

Your likeness.

May we 

behold

Your 

face.

"Glimpses of glory good men have here below to stay their sacred hunger, but the full feast awaits them in the upper skies. Compared with this deep, ineffable, eternal fulness of delight, the joys of the worldling are as a glowworm to the sun, or the drop of a bucket 

to the ocean." 

From "The Treasury of David."

Psalm 36:8 

Psalm 16:11

Psalm 17:15

 

 You want us to be abundantly satisfied...watered.

The Hebrew word - רוה râvâh - means to drink to the full; to be satisfied, or sated with drink; or to be satisfied or filled with water, as the earth or fields after an abundant rain: Isaiah 34:7; Psalm 65:10. The state referred to by the word is that of one who was thirsty, but who has drunk to the full; who feels that his desire is satisfied: 

From Barnes Notes on the Bible.

Of the river - The abundance. Not a running fountain; not a gentle bubbling rivulet; not a stream that would soon dry up; but a "river," large; full; overflowing; inexhaustible. 

From Barnes Notes on the Bible.

I looked up the words delights and pleasures mentioned in Psalm 36:8. (They will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.) The word pleasures and delights comes from the word Eden! 

I don't know about you, but I didn't know that! ,

Strong's Concordance #5730 עֵדֶן `eden {ay'-den}or (fem.) עֶדְנָה `ednah {ed-naw'}

Eden the garden God created for Adam and Eve, 

means pleasures and delights. Wow! You desire for us to drink 

from the river of Eden. You long for us to return to the

simplicity of the garden of delights and pleasures, in YOU. 

In You...

Only in You

will we be satisfied.

Only in You

will we be delighted.

Only in You

will we take pleasure.

We are still able to walk in the cool

of Edenlike morning with you, 

as we realize

our pleasure

our delight

is in You.
