Today in our Psalm we get this language that appears throughout the Psalms: “You give them drink from the river of Your delights.” It’s so beautiful and profound. But, I must admit that I sometimes wonder if I haven’t experienced it. There’s a “River of His delights”? Where can I find it? Because I want to. So much of life is mundane. And I believe we find the Lord and meaning in the mundane, day-to-day. But the more we read the Psalms every day, the more I see that there is tasting and seeing that is beyond the natural — it’s supernatural. That’s my prayer today: that God would break into my routine and let me taste His river of delights…like He did for Mary when He came to her house in Bethany (today’s celebration in Morning Prayer — join us!)
