Psalm 145:15-17 The eyes of all wait on you; and you give them their meat in due season.… : — William Huntingdon told the story about, a farmer who, when one of his daughters was married, gave her a thousand pounds as a wedding present. There was another daughter, and her father did not give her a thousand pounds when she was married, but he gave her something as a wedding present, and then he kept on pretty nearly every day in the week sending her what he called "the hand-basket portion with father's love." And so in the long run she received a good deal more than her sister did. I do like when I get a mercy to have it come to me with my heavenly Father's love, just my daily portion as I need it; not given all in a lump so that I might go away with it into a far country, as we are sure to do if we have all our mercy at once, but given day by day, as the manna fell, with our heavenly Father's love every time a fresh token of infinite grace and infinite love. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.WEB: The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season. |
