Even if there are enemies, they cannot interfere with the full and sure
supply which God has provided for His servant. When he reaches the end
of his journey, he will find that the Lord has prepared a place for his
rest; and now that he is in the midst of it, he may rejoice in that the
same most blessed Saviour has prepared a table for his daily supply.
This refers, doubtless, to our daily wants, and it describes His
fulfilment of our supplication in the Lord’s Prayer. We pray day by day,
“Give us this day our daily bread;” and when we really enter into the
spirit of this Psalm, we as much as say that the prayer is answered, the
bread provided, and the table spread.
And may we not apply it still more to the bread of life? Is it not our
sacred privilege, when the soul is hungered, to feed even on Him; when
the soul is athirst, to drink of the pure river of the water of life?
And are there not many amongst us who know, by their own experience, the
truth of the promise, “They shall be abundantly satisfied?” {92}
