One of the practical jokes I must confess to performing as a child is shaking up a can of soda real well before handing it off to an unsuspecting brother of mine. If I could paint a picture of David from Psalm 145 it would resemble this image of something bubbling forth with effervescence of praise to his God. Among those things that make him spill over joyfully are His mercy, His goodness, His awesome acts, His power, majesty, glory, sustenance, and satisfaction. The Lord does all these things so completely and comprehensively. Note that the Lord is not just righteous (in v. 17), but righteous in all His ways. Note in the same verse He is not just kind, but kind in all His deeds. Verse 18 was especially dear to me today, in affirming again, "the Lord is near to all who call upon Him." I love His close proximity. I am praying that all of us will have and maintain the fervor for praise that David exhibits in Psalm 145.
The people that Chris worked with to organize the trip to Israel (Mike and Cheri Fitzsimmons) were gracious to take us to dinner tonight and pray for us. Today being the 18th, we think of the end of radiation being somewhere close to a month from now, as a note of encouragement.
