祢也必叫他們喝祢樂河的水。-詩篇36篇8節
You give them drink from your river of delights.- Psalm 36:8

我們在花園裡放了一個餵鳥器，看到小小的蜂鳥懸停其上，吸食其中的糖水，實在令人賞心悅目。但最近我們出門幾天，卻忘記在餵鳥器加添糖水。回到家時，餵鳥器裡的糖水已完全乾了。我心想：「可憐的鳥兒！因為我的疏忽，使牠們得不到養分。」但接著，我就想到其實餵養牠們的並不是我，而是上帝。
有時，生活中各種需求或許會讓我們感到精疲力竭，覺得沒有人能加添我們力量。然而，別忘了，唯有上帝能使我們的心靈得飽足。
詩篇36篇提到上帝的慈愛，描述凡投靠祂的人都能豐豐富富地得到飽足。上帝把祂「樂河的水」賜給他們（8節），祂是生命的活泉。
每天我們都可以把需要帶到上帝面前，尋求祂的供應。就如十九世紀英國佈道家司布真寫道：「我的主，祢是我的信心與恩惠的泉源，是我生命與一切喜樂的源頭；我的言行舉止以及所有的正直行為都出於祢，祢是我屬天盼望的根源。一切全都源於祢。」
讓我們滿得祂豐盛的供應，祂是永流不竭的活泉。
主啊！我來到祢面前，
深信祢會按著我所需要的供應我。
上帝的愛極其豐盛。

We have a hummingbird feeder in the garden, and we love to see the little birds come and drink from its sugary water. Recently, however, we went on a short trip and forgot to replenish its contents. When we came back, it was completely dry. Poor birds! I thought. Because of my forgetfulness, they haven't had any nourishment. Then I was reminded that I am not the one who feeds them: God is.
Sometimes we may feel that all of the demands of life have depleted our strength and there is no one to replenish it. But others don't feed our souls: God does.
In Psalm 36 we read about God's lovingkindness. It describes those who put their trust in Him and are abundantly satisfied. God gives them water from His "river of delights" (v. 8). He is the fountain of life!
We can go to God every day for the supply of our needs. As Charles Spurgeon wrote, "The springs of my faith and all my graces; the springs of my life and all my pleasures; the springs of my activity and all its right doings; the springs of my hope, and all its heavenly anticipations, all lie in thee, my Lord."
Let us be filled with His abundant supply. His fountain will never run dry.
Lord, I come to You with the confidence that You will fill me with what I need.
God's love is abundant.
