Thou shalt make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
Psalm xxxvi.8.
Infinite the ocean joy,
Opening to His children's view;
Infinite their varied treasure,
Meted not by mortal measure,
Holy knowledge, holy pleasure,
Through eternity's great leisure,
Like it's praises, ever new.
Frances Ridley Havergal
God in His wisdom has given us gem of rivers like the Itchetucknee as a vivid picture of His spiritual river of His pleasures. I cannot begin to comprehend what the River of Life shall be like, or the River of living waters flowing from the throne. I can drift down this clear,cool river as in a state of suspension above a world of grass,trout,bass,alligators, turtles and otter in wonder. I am drawn to these waters the same as I am by the Holy Spirit drawn to Christ, to know His righteousness, to be cleansed from my sins, to soothe my troubled soul that pines for Him.
