Psalm 36:5-10 NASB

Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep.  O LORD, You preserve man and beast.  How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!  And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.  They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.  For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.  O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Historically, much has been made of searching for "the fountain of youth", when something better was there all the time, just for the taking!  The Psalmist exclaims his exciting find in verse 9, declaring, "with You is the fountain of life"!  But there's more.  He adds, "In Your light we see light".  Life and light!  This is who God is and this is what we find by coming under His care.  What a find!  Verse 8 says, "They drink their fill of the abundance (literally, 'fullness') of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights".  God just simply holds nothing back with His children.  As the world frantically seeks for security, meaning and pleasure, in all the wrong places, we have all that matters in Him.  It's found in the vast and infinite riches of His lovingkindness (5a), faithfulness (5b), righteousness (6a), and judgments (6b).  In Him are found the building blocks of life as it is meant to be, with all that is good, right and enduring.  Transgression, iniquity, and wickedness, as described in the first 4 verses of this chapter, have its day, but it will be thrust down, never to rise again (v.12).  It's a senseless, stupid way to go.  Its "highs" are lies.  Its hold isn't satisfaction; it's addiction.  Though now acutely aware of its boredom, they are caught in its venom, "needing" more and more of its emptiness.  That, my friend, is the face of addiction.  But God's children?  Ah!  Sing it again! They drink their fill of the fullness of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights".  Now this is the kind of drinking one can enjoy!  Drink up my friend!  This just simply can't be beat!
