There is a River

"There is a river, the streams wherof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High." Psalm 46:6

There is a river.

We need not cry out for supply. The river is already there. " . . . the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God." Not only are we promised always adequate supply, but we are promised gladness too.

There is a river.

And it is to "Make glad . . . the holy place of the tabernacles of the most high." We are His tabernacles. "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?"

It is impossible for us to conceive being glad when our hearts are breaking, but god has said it. We don't need to conceive it. We can conceive very little of what God has in mind for us anyway. "It is too high" for us.

It is a waste of time to try to reach it. We can only receive.

The rive is there.

In you. To "make glad . . ." The adequate supply seems to be taken for granted in this "blue stone" verse. God feels it necessary only to remind us that not only will our needs be met, but the river is full enough to make us glad too.

There is a river.

No matter what is tearing at you right now, remember, "there is a river . . . "

"Be still, and know that I am God . . . "
