The Lord is very
gracious to us. Though we have sinned, He provides a way of forgiveness through
Jesus. The Lord is merciful to us. Though we have been weak and trembling, He
has extended His right hand, the Son of Might, and upheld us.
In the wilderness, it seems there is
little good eating. Our knees are weak and our hands hang limp but the Lord has
fed us, somehow He has sustained us. Perhaps it was only ravens who brought us
a bit of bread, just enough to make us wonder about His provision, enough to
keep us to the day of deliverance. But we waited upon Him for we had no where
else to turn. It is not a bad place to be when there is no one to save you but
God for then you know that your salvation truly rests in Him.
We are at that place here at The Table
of the Lord. Jesus is outside the camp, the Savior abandoned by Israel. He even
said, “My God, my God, why have Thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” But the answer is heard from heaven just a
few verses later saying, Psalm 22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the
affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great
congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they
shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
