Psalm 104:28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good. I. GOD ALONE GIVES; WE ONLY GATHER. He is the Sole Proprietor in the universe, and of it. We can have nothing but by His bestowal. Our industry, perseverance, skill, are only methods that we employ in gathering. We have nothing that we have not received. II. WHAT GOD GIVES WE OUGHT TO GATHER. 1. In the world of nature. The fields must be cultivated, harvests reaped, etc. 2. In the realm of grace. Truth must be apprehended, Christ believed, the Holy Ghost received. (U. R. Thomas.)
