A TABLE FURNISHED

“Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?” (Psalm 78:19)

Led out of Egypt by His mighty hand, watching the destruction of those who had pursued them, rejoicing in a deliverance that was a miracle, and yet they soon murmured and complained. They had not yet learned to trust Him. Could their God really furnish a table in the wilderness? Could He set a spread in order before them? He surely did! Manna fresh every morning. And when they cried for flesh to eat, in came the quail.

The Psalmist spoke it with confidence, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,” (Psalm 23:5).

The Spirit is calling many to leave the Babylonish system of religious institutionalism, “come out of her, My people,” (Rev. 18:4). Yet they are afraid, ‘what will we do for spiritual food?’ Ah, precious is the promise that “WISDOM hath also furnished her table,” (Prov. 9:2). God always will provide that table which will suffice for our spiritual needs. He is that Bread, He is that Living Water, and “They that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled,” (Matthew 5:6).

There are many precious ways in which He causes the Word to come to us, inner inspiration, dreams of the night, a voice from the air waves of radio or television, a printed message, a visitor, they are so varied and precious we cannot begin to list them all, nor prescribe what is best – we joyfully receive from His hand, and know that “He maketh peace thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat,” (Ps. 147:14).

Even in regards to our natural needs, while there are those who fear a coming economic collapse, a famine, a shortage, or whatever, we are sure of His care – He can lead one to make preparation, as He did Joseph, for the time of famine in Egypt, or He can provide as He did for Elijah, when the “ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening,” (I Kings 17:6). He will furnish our table, He is our Supply.
