"Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing." --- Psalm 145:16.
Who considers these words enough? The hand of God being my chief provision and store-house, is it not a shame to be anxiously careful about anything? Has not the Lord all things in his hands? then surely I will receive what he has for me; none will be able to withhold it. Faith has always a free access to the treasures of God, who is never wanting. Christians have their chests and treasures in such a high place, even in God, that no thief can rob them, and they are sure to have enough from God; though the Lord should try them with want a little while, yet he relieves them in due time: their bread must rain from heaven, rather than they should be left without.
You need not, says Christ, seek these other things; they shall be brought to you, if ye only abide in me. If this does not comfort and strenghten us, nothing else will. Now, many rely on their full pockets and purses; but if they had true faith, it would be enough that they believed and had it in God's hand, purse and chest. If the Lord is pleased to bestow some provision on his servant, he is very thankful for it, and is careful to apply it well. But if God thinks it proper to deny him, he is content and cheerful.
The Lord is good, the Lord is kind,
Great is his grace, his mercy is sure;
And the whole race of mankind shall find
His truth from age to age endure.
