Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
God opens His hand not reluctantly but liberally, with the ease of one who has infinite supply ready at hand. Every living creature's desire becomes prophetic of its satisfaction; the longing itself announces that blessing is coming. What He does in nature, providing bread and water, He does also in grace: the sinner who waits on Him for pardon, renewal, or any needful thing will never wait in vain.
AI summary
All God's works praise Him, but His saints actively bless Him as children call their parents blessed. They collect the tribute of praise from inferior creatures and pay it to heaven. His saints, the workmanship of His grace, have the most reason to celebrate His kingdom and the control He holds over all earthly powers.
