So self-denial gives strength and sweetness; we may easily swallow these pills, because they are sugared▪ Luke 1.53. He hath filled the hungry with good things. Isa. 57.1 He reviveth the spirit of the humble. The traveller must have a bait; so God gives a sweet bit which is a daily bait, that a self-denying heart may go on his journey with comfort, as he speaks, 1 Sam. 1.8. Am I not better to thee thou ten children? So Christ saith to thee; Am I not better to thee then a thousand credits? Thus the soul is refreshed.
