16. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat. Famine would have been an unknown word; they would have been fed on the
best of the best food, and have had abundance of it as their everyday diet. And with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. Luxuries as well
as necessaries would be forthcoming. The Lord can do great things for an
obedient people. When his people walk in the light of his countenance, and
maintain unsullied holiness, the joy and consolation which he yields them are
beyond conception. To them the joys of heaven have begun even upon earth. They
can sing in the ways of the Lord. The spring of the eternal summer has
commenced with them; they are already blest, and they look for brighter things.
This shows us by contrast how sad a thing it is for a child of God to sell himself
into captivity to sin, and bring his soul into a state of famine by following
after another god.
