‘THE God of Elijah who once saw fit to make use of ravens as His messengers whereby to sustain His servant, is in our day the same ever-loving, ever-watchful Father, using, if need be, little homely sparrows to bring a word of peace and comfort to the hearts of His tried ones. Such was the case, not long since, with one upon whom domestic anxieties were weighing rather heavily. Illness was in the family, and the heart sickness of suspense was keenly felt. Just outside the window a number of sparrows were chirping and twittering cheerily over some crumbs thrown for them. Each received its morsel, and flew away satisfied. As the eye rested for a moment absently upon them, the thought flashed through the mind, framing itself into a quick petition — an upward glance of the heart to God— “Oh, how sorely I, too, need a morning crumb — a portion for the day; for I, too, am hungry — hungry in soul. Give unto me, O my Father a strengthening portion — a crumb of comfort whereby I may be sustained throughout the day, and know the power of Thy strength in my weakness afresh!”
As an instant reply, Christ’s own forcible words dropped softly and sweetly upon the anxious mind, “I am the bread of life.” “He that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.” (John 6:35, 5735And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. (John 6:35)
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. (John 6:57).) “My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For, the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven.” Christ Himself! the Bread of God — the Word of God, by which man shall live. What more, what other sustenance can any soul need? The now rejoicing heart would gratefully respond―
“Jesus, Thou art enough,
The mind and heart to fill,”
and praise flowed freely but silently forth.
Fellow pilgrims through a dry and barren land, where is absolutely no sustenance for the soul, feed much upon Christ — the bread of God― the only true source of spiritual nourishment. He can refresh and satisfy heart, mind, and spirit, as nothing else can.
Learn also, even by the most humble means, to observe the loving kindness of the Lord. He who cares for tiny sparrows, will also sometimes teach by them. He has said, “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
