5. Hungry and thirsty. their soul fainted in them. The spirits sink when the bodily frame becomes exhausted by long
privations. Who can keep his courage up when he is ready to fall to the ground
at every step through utter exhaustion? The supply of food is all eaten, the
water is spent in the bottles, and there are neither fields nor streams in the
desert; the heart therefore sinks in dire despair. Such is the condition of an
awakened conscience before it knows the Lord Jesus; it is full of unsatisfied
cravings, painful needs, and heavy fears. It is utterly spent and without
strength, and there is nothing in the whole creation which can minister to its
refreshment.
