They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

Psalm 36:8 ESV

I’m hoping you know what it is to feast on the abundance of God’s house and to drink from the river of His delights. In some ways, we think we experience all God’s goodness until we come into a new deeper experience of it, then realize how much more there is. Wherever we are, there is deeper still to go. Last night, I read in Finney’s autobiography how he came into a “deeper still” experience of God when he consecrated every last thing in his life to God, including his own salvation, giving it all over to God’s will, to do as He pleased. Finney and the author of “Practicing the Presence of God” both describe my experience of God, the abiding in the house of abundance and drinking from His delights.

Finney: “He enables me now to rest in him, and let everything sink into his perfect will… I had the freedom of a child with a loving parent… I can rest upon him and be quiet, lay my heart in his hand, and nestle down in his perfect will, and have no carefulness or anxiety… It seemed my soul wedded to Christ… The language of the Song of Solomon was as natural as my breath… ‘My grace is sufficient’ meant so much.”
