Psalm 36: Day 36- Are you Submerged and Drinking from the Correct Fountain?

Hello Friends:
Because we believe in the trinity and understand that the Angel of the Lord is Jesus, we see and know that Jesus is the light of the world; He is the son of God. Also, His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:05) “For with you is the fountain of life, in your light we see the light” (Psalm 36:9). In order to see the light of God, we have to know Jesus. If we don’t know Jesus, we cannot experience His life. In short, your relationship with God determines the amount of light you see. Putting it in those terms, do you see how important it is to be in Christ enveloped and submerged in His fountain of life and light? Finally, Jesus tells the woman at the well that He has water that if she drinks of it, she will never thirst again (John 4). Friends, this water is not natural water; it's spiritual. Which well do you run to and drink from? Christ's fresh spiritual fountain water or a unrefreshing well that never satisfies?

Psalm 36 -New International Version (NIV)

I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b]
There is no fear of God
    before their eyes.
In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;     they fail to act wisely or do good.
Even on their beds they plot evil;     they commit themselves to a sinful course
    and do not reject what is wrong.
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,     your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!     People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;     you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;     in your light we see light.
10 Continue your love to those who know you,     your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 
    nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!
