5. God will satisfy the hungry, because the hungry soul is most thankful for mercy; when the restless desire hath been drawn out after God, and God fills it, how thankful is a Christian! The Lord loves to bestow his mercy where he may have most praise; we delight to give to them that are thankful: Musicians love to play where there is the best sound; God loves to bestow his mercies where he may hear of them again: The hungry soul sets the Crown of praise upon the head of free-grace. Psal. 50.23. Who so offereth praise, glorifies me.
