Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 36:8, where these great words are found:
"They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures."God is absolutely committed to all our Christ-honoring pleasures, (which are the only real and true ones that exist). All of our Father’s delights emanate from His “house,” (His church). As Spirit-filled, forgiven, and totally-liberated Christians, we have all the reason in the world to be the happiest people on earth.
When we fully avail ourselves of Jesus, and of all His provisions which He metes-out in and through His gospel and His “house"—we know everything of which David speaks (above).
[Puritan quote of the day: "Get contentment into the sling of your heart, and with this sacred stone you may both defy the world and conquer it.” —Thom-as Watson, in, "The Art of Divine Contentment"]
