Day 5: Filled with bounty
"I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and My people will be filled with My bounty,” declares the Lord (Jeremiah 31:14).
It is comfortable to observe the goodness of the Lord in the gifts of providence. But our souls are never valuable as gardens, unless watered with the dews of God's Spirit and grace.
~ Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary ~
Feed thou today upon the Bread of Life;
Be strong to conquer ’midst the raging strife;
Help other struggling souls to win today,
For thou shalt never pass again this way.
Feed thou today upon the holy Book;
Be sure to make thy path without a crook;
Lend thou a hand to others lest they stray,
For thou shalt never pass again this way.
O soul of mine, be ever wide awake;
Do all within thy pow’r, for Jesus’ sake,
To feed some hungry, fainting soul today,
For thou shalt never pass again this way.
~ Charles E. Orr ~ The More Abundant Life
