Golden Treasury
O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalms 34:8. How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men, put their trust under the shadow of thy wings, they shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thine house, and they shall make them drink of the river of thy pleasure. Psalms 136:7-8. He fills the hungry with good things; and sends the rich empty away. Luke 1:53. The full soul loatheth the honey comb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. Proverbs 27:7.
As it is no subject of boasting with natural men when they can eat and drink, stand and walk; so neither is it with believers, who can spiritually eat and work. May the Lord give us all such a childlike, hungry disposition of mind for spiritual things.
Praise be to him, that by his free grace he justifies, saves, and abundantly fills our poverty with the fatness of his house.
Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supplied and fed
With living streams and living bread.
Blest Jesus, what delicious fare!
How sweet thy entertainments are!
Never did angels taste above
Redeeming grace and dying love.
Haste then, but with a smiling face
And spread a table of thy grace;
Bring down a taste of truth divine,
And cheer my heart with sacred wine.
