psalm 36:8 (and 9)

...you give them drink from your river of delights....with You is the fountain of life.

i brought my husband flowers yesterday - daffodils picked from the yard. this morning they were all fwamped over (maybe not a real word, but one i use often nonetheless). i know that flowers aren't meant to be ripped from the ground and disconnected from their roots and it's not the best thing for them to have their stems cut in half - but i still didn't think they had any right to already be fwamped. turns out that the vase didn't have any water in it. i added water...now they are back to being beautiful daffodils again.

i've been thinking about being thirsty...and drinking...about being filled. living water. it just doesn't work to go without water - our heads hang low, our spirits sink, we're not pretty (in no way am i referring to outward appearance). add water - a drink from His river of delights - we perk right back up and live.

He gives us drink from His river of delight. hallelujah. with Him is the fountain of life. drink up.
