All We Have is from God   “We   have   our   all   from   the   hand   of   God,   and   are   entrusted   with   it   as   stewards, and   consequently   are   accountable.   We   should   have   this   thought   as   a   golden thread   running   through   all   the   comforts   of   every   day,   ‘These   are   God’s   gifts’: every   bit   we   eat,   and   every   drop   we   drink,   is   his   mercy;   every   breath   we   draw, and   every   step   we   take,   is   his   mercy:   this   will   keep   us   continually   waiting   upon him,   and   will   put   a   double   sweetness   into   all   our   enjoyments.   God   will   have   his mercies   taken   fresh   from   his   compassions,   which   for   this   reason   are   said   to   be new   every   morning;   and   therefore   it   is   not   once   a-week   that   we   are   to   wait   upon him,   as   people   go   to   market   to   buy   provisions   for   the   whole   week,   but   we   must wait   on   him   every   day,   and   all   the   day,   as   those   that   live   from   hand   to   mouth, and yet live very easy.” -- Matthew Henry (1662-1714) Related Bible Verse:  “He     makes     grass     grow     for     the     cattle,     and     plants     for     people     to cultivate—bringing    forth    food    from    the    earth:    wine    that    gladdens    human hearts,   oil   to   make   their   faces   shine,   and   bread   that   sustains   their   hearts”    (Ps. 104:14-15) Note: The work from which the above quote was taken, A Method of Prayer, by Matthew Henry, is available as a PDF eBook at the Classic Christian Library, free of charge at: http://www.ClassicChristianLibrary.com
