Listen from:
He did eat continually at the king's table. 2 Samuel 9:13
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. 2 Kings 25:30
SA 9:13{KI 25:30{It is not occasional but continual feeding on Christ that really satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. "He did eat continually at the king's table." It is "he that cometh to Me" who "shall never hunger," not "he who did come." "To whom coming," always coming, never going away, because we "have tasted that the Lord is gracious," we shall be "built up." If we really are guests at the King's table in its fullest sense—if we are feeding upon Christ Himself, and not on any shadow of the true substance—we must be satisfied. Here is a strong, severe test. Christ must satisfy; then, if we are not satisfied, it must be because we are not feeding on Him wholly and only. The fault is not in the provision which is made—"For all that came unto King Solomon's table, they lacked nothing.”
God doth not bid thee wait to disappoint at last;
A golden promise, fair and great, in precept-mold is cast.
Soon shall the morning gild the dark horizon rim,
Thy heart's desire shall be fulfilled, "Wait patiently for Him.”
