3. Take this demonstration of it; they who live much in God, even they (upon the matter) need little or nothing of the creature; they (upon the matter) are Independent as to the creature who depend fully upon the Creator. The good or evil of this world is not much to them, who are much with God. They have but little to do with the creature, and can do well enough without the creature. (Hab. 3.17.) Although the figtree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labour of the Olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in ⟨p. 11⟩the stalls; yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. As if he had said, what if all creature comforts are taken away from me, I can live upon God alone. The life of a Believer is much above the creature, how much more is the life of the Creator? The Apostle (2 Cor. 6.10.) speaking of himself, saith, as having nothing, & yet possessing all things. If Paul by the high actings of his faith & dependencies upon God could say he possessed all things, while he was as having nothing in the creature. Surely God hath all, when he hath nothing of or from the creature; He may say in the strictest sense, having nothing (of these things) and yet possessing all things. Lay these two observations together.
