Have you ever been canoeing or tubing down a river? I remember as a kid doing those things, and oh how much fun it was, or at least that is the memory anyways. A river represents an abundant supply. It represents volumes of water. Water is very important to our survival as human beings. A matter of fact, people in the know tell us that a person can only survive without water for about 3 or 4 days. We need water to survive!
A river represents more than enough .... a river represents abundance. However they are subject to drying up and water sources disappearing. That which once was a sign of abundance suddenly disappears.
In Psalms 65 David is speaking of the goodness of God. He is talking about how God waters the earth and cares for His creation. I like how the New Living Translation reads in verse 9, " ... the rivers of God will not run dry." Applying this spiritually is a great source of comfort. The rivers of God will never run dry!
No matter what we are experiencing, the rivers of God will not run dry. God is our never ending source. He is more than enough. So go forth today encouraged, knowing that His supply is always enough. A matter of fact, Paul said it this way: "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory."
This is today,
Pastor Gary
