That is what makes the position of the complaining Christian such a serious one. We shall never be able to plead the excuse that there was not sufficient food because we were in a wilderness. The Lord has provided it. This is a wonderful thing for us to contemplate- that the Lord is nourishing the church. The husband in his care for his wife works to provide food and all that she needs.
Parents take care that their children have the right food, and plenty of it, and at the right time.
The Lord is doing that for us in an infinitely greater way. A part of His care is to provide acts of public worship. Public worship is not a human institution, a contrivance of man. They should come because they realize that they cannot grow if they do not come. They come to be fed, to find food for the soul -'nourishment'.
