2. God will fill the hungry that he may fulfil his §2Word. Psal. 107.9. Jer. 41.14. Luke 6.21. Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Isa. 44.3. I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, &c. Hath the Lord spoken, and shall it not come to pass? promises are obligatory; if God hath passed a promise, he cannot go back: Thou that hungerest after righteousness, hast God engaged for thee; he hath (to speak with Reverence) pawned his truth for thee. As his compassions fail not, Lam. 3.22. so he will not suffer his faithfulness to fail, Psal. 89.33. If the hungry soul should not be filled, the promise should not be fulfilled.
