19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time. Calamities will come, but deliverances will come also. As the righteous
never reckoned on immunity from trouble, they will not be disappointed when
they are called to take their share of it, but will cast themselves anew upon
their God, and prove again his faithfulness and love. And in the days offamine they shall be satisfied. Their bread will be given them. Our Lord
stayed himself on this when he hungered in the wilderness, and by faith he
repelled the tempter. If God’s providence is our inheritance, we need not worry
about the price of wheat. Faith, if it do not preserve the crop, can do what is
better, namely, preserve our joy in the Lord.
