Numbers 1:44-46

Pause again, my brother, and reflect, what a standing miracle of mercy must it have been in the Lord, to have fed this great multitude in the wilderness, day by day for forty years together. And when the Reader hath duly contemplated this subject, let him consider further, what an everlasting miracle it must be of grace in the Lord Jesus, to have fed, and to be still feeding, his flock from age to age, amidst all the wilderness dispensations of this world, and amidst all their own barrenness, and the hast of foes everywhere around them! Dearest Lamb of God! that art in the midst of the throne! do thou feed me with that living food, which is thyself, and tell me where thou feedest thy flocks at noon: for otherwise, where shall I find bread in this waste and howling wilderness? Revelation 7:17.
