As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God. Psalms 43:2-3. Divine answer. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2.
There is a great difference between a legal and a faint-hearted soul; the former is puffed up with self-righteousness, the latter humbly thirsts after Christ’s righteousness; therefore he is not under the law, but has grace already. It is only the child or the new man actually born, that can cry and thirst. And though he cannot so fully believe it, yet to have grace, is one thing, and to feel and enjoy it, is another. Therefore let not the weak be confounded, which is done very easily, the enemy himself contributing to it, as much as he can; but let it be declared even to the weakest, that they are actually saved, as soon as,they are earnestly panting and willing to receive all without price. Matthew 5:3.
Eternal Wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids our longing appetites
The rich provisions taste.
O! glorious God, what can we pay,
For favours so divine?
We would devote our hearts away,
To be for ever thine.
