8. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house. Those who learn to put their trust in God will be received into his
house, and will share in the provision laid up therein. The dwelling-place of
the Lord is not confined to any place; we shall find a soul-contenting store
supplied to us as the result of living by faith in nearness to the Lord. Andthou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. As they have the
fruits of Eden to feed on, so shall they have the river of Paradise to drink
from. God’s everlasting love bears constant and ample comfort, of which grace
makes us drink by faith, and then our pleasure is of the richest kind. Heaven
will, in the fullest sense, fulfill these words; but those who trust in the
Lord enjoy the foretaste even here. The happiness given to the faithful is that
of God himself; purified spirits joy with the same joy as the Lord himself.
