Feasting in the Abundance of the River of Delights!



Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of Our Abba Father!

“How priceless is your unfailing Love!  Both high and low among men find 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 light; in your light we see light.” Psalms 36:7-9.      

  When you are invited to go to a wedding reception, all the food and drink are provide at no cost to the guests.   If it is served buffet style, you can eat and drink as much as you want.   You feast on the abundance that is provided at no charge.   This is a picture of us in the heavenly spiritual realm.   All of the spiritual blessings that exist in the kingdom of heaven, in Christ Jesus, have been offered and given for our enjoyment!  

 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!  Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.  Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?  Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.” Isaiah 55:1-2.      

    This is the walk of faith, delighting in the richest of fare, feasting on the abundance of the kingdom of heaven all of its Blessings that have already been given to us.  It is drinking from the River of Delights, the River of the Father’s goodness, Love and generosity!  It tasting of the Lord’s goodness till we are overflowing!  

It is receiving and abiding in the continual flow of the fountain of the Father’s Love!   Even when life on the earth becomes exceedingly difficult and painful, we just go to this place in the Spirit, to the River of His exceedingly delightful Love!  We are all in the process of learning how to do this.  We are all learning how to live in the Spirit, drinking from the Father’s delightful Love even when life deals us some painful blows!  

 As we set our hearts and minds on drinking from His River of Delights, the pain in our hearts doesn’t control us like it did when we were not drinking from the River of His Delights.  We just plant our hearts deep into this River of Delights and let this River nourish our hearts!  It is these abounding and deep waters of His Delight that makes us flourish when life on the earth is difficult!  It is this deep attachment, this deep rooting in the River that strengthens our hearts and transforms us into the image and likeness of Jesus!  It is the water in the River that makes us strong, not our efforts. 

 The River of His Delights will do in us what we could never do by our own efforts!  We just turn the attention of our hearts to this Life producing River and take big drinks of all of the Delights!  We don’t glorify the drinking, it is the substance of what we are drinking, the River of Delights that is transforming us!    We drink of the substance of the Father’s Love and it is the Father’s Love that transforms us!  We can eat and drink of anything we want to, we eat and can drink from worldly pleasures or from the River of the Father’s Delights in the heavenly, Spiritual realm and it is the substance of what we eat and drink that determines the life we will lead!  

 We were created to feast on the Father’s abounding delightful Love!   How about you?  Has this been your Christian walk, going from glory to glory, just being filled and overwhelmed by the Father’s infinite and delightful Love?   For many of us, this has not been our consistent experience.   But we created to eat, drink, and feast on His abounding goodness and His delightful Love!   Are you ready to start feasting like never before in your life?   We were created to experience fully His wonderful and delightful and overwhelming Love!   DRINK, EAT AND FEAST in the River of His Delights!!!!           SHALOM!!!!!!!!
