Foop FOR THE llUNGRY-God has
given the cattle something which is con-
sonant TO their nature ihev are nothing
but flesh, and flesh is grass, there Is
therefore grass for their flesh. But then.
though | am flesh. am something else
besides, | AIN spirit. Then, if | am to
get something 10 satisfy NE. it must be
spiritual meat. Where Is il When |
turn 10 Gods word. L find there that
though the gra>s withereth, the word of
the Lord endureth forever: and the word
which God speaks unto u. is spirit and
life. Oh, then, say, here is some
thing spiritual for my spiritual nature,
something suitable to ne as an immortal
being. o., may God help me to know
what that spiritual meat is, and enable
me TO lay hold upon it, for | perceive
that though God provides the grass for
the cattle, the cattle must eat il them
selves. They are not fed by it if they lie
down and refuse TO come and eat. Then
what must / do! | must initiate the
cattle. and eat that which God provides
for me- What do | find provided in the
Scripture find the Lord Jesus Christ
laid down as the food for INV soul. |
am told that he came into this world to
suffer and bleed, and die, instead of me.
and that If | trust in him | shall be
saved; and. being saved, the thoughts of
his love will give solace and ioy TO me
and be my strength, the strength of my
life and portion forever. l do not find
the cattle bringing any purchase-money
to the pasture, but they enter it and re
ceive what they want Even so DO by
an act of faith in Jesus. Lord give me
grace TO feed upon Christ make me
hungry and thirsty after him; give me
the faith by which may be receiver of
him, that 50 may be satisfied with IA
vor, and full of the goodness of the Lord.
