Herein he well pictures the happy position of all the Lord&#8217;s<br \/>\npeople. A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need<br \/>\ntomorrow&#8217;s supplies; that day has not yet dawned, and its wants are as<br \/>\nyet unborn. The thirst which we may suffer in the month of June does<br \/>\nnot need to be quenched in February, for we do not feel it yet; if we<br \/>\nhave enough for each day as the days arrive we shall never know want.<br \/>\nSufficient for the day is all that we can enjoy. We cannot eat or drink<br \/>\nor wear more than the day&#8217;s supply of food and raiment; the surplus<br \/>\ngives us the care of storing it, and the anxiety of watching against a<br \/>\nthief. One staff aids a traveller, but a bundle of staves is a heavy<br \/>\nburden. Enough is not only as good as a feast, but is all that the<br \/>\ngreatest glutton can truly enjoy. This is all that we should expect; a<br \/>\ncraving for more than this is ungrateful. When our Father does not give<br \/>\nus more, we should be content with his daily allowance. Jehoiachin&#8217;s<br \/>\ncase is ours, we have a sure portion, a portion given us of the king, a<br \/>\ngracious portion, and a perpetual portion. Here is surely ground for<br \/>\nthankfulness.<\/p>\n<p>Beloved Christian reader, in matters of grace you need a daily supply.<br \/>\nYou have no store of strength. Day by day must you seek help from<br \/>\nabove. It is a very sweet assurance that a daily portion is provided<br \/>\nfor you. In the word, through the ministry, by meditation, in prayer,<br \/>\nand waiting upon God you shall receive renewed strength. In Jesus all<br \/>\nneedful things are laid up for you. Then enjoy your continual<br \/>\nallowance. Never go hungry while the daily bread of grace is on the<br \/>\ntable of mercy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.&#8221; &#8212; 2 Kings 25:30 Jehoiachin was not sent away from the king&#8217;s palace with a store to last him for months, but his provision was given him as a daily pension&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purposedriven.ca\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
