Secondly, The souls reflecting upon the Lord as good and gracious unto us. This reflect act breeds and brings in delight, and works the heart to an unspeakable joy in God. By this last and highest act of faith, we take in the sweetness of the Almighty, and delight our selves in him mightily. This faith doth not only suck the promises, wherein the love of God is evidenced to us, but is it self an evidence of the love of God to us. We suck and are satisfied with the breasts of consolation by believing (Isa. 66.11.) that is, we believing draw forth that sweetness of the promise which the word declares to be the portion of Believers. Thus spiritual delight is made up; and therefore Saints are said to rejoice in believing, with joy unspeakable and full of glory (1 Pet. 1.8.) that is, having as much and as clear a manifestation, yea participation and taste of that Glory in believing, which is prepared and reserved for them against the next life, as they are capable to receive, and more then they are able to express, in this life. Then shalt thou delight thy self in the Almighty, We may look upon the words first as a command; and then observe, That, it is our duty to delight our selves in God.
