Brethren:
As mentioned from the previous study on Tuesday, we read that all those that seek Him, and His wisdom, shall not lack for the provision of their needs. The godly by their patient obedience profit more than they which ravine and spoil.

“David
simply asserts, that those who guard against all unrighteousness
should profit more because the Lord feeds his people, while even the
lions and other beasts of prey often suffer hunger. What he says,
then, is, that sooner shall the lions perish with hunger and want,
than God will disappoint of their necessary food the righteous and
sincere, who, content with his blessing alone, seek their food only
from his hand. Whoever, therefore, shall in this way cast his cares
upon God, and confide implicitly in his paternal goodness and bounty,
shall live quietly and peaceably among men, and suffer no injury. If
it is objected, that the good and the virtuous are not always
exempted from penury, I answer, that the hand of God is stretched out
to succor them in due season, when they are reduced to the greatest
straits, and know not to what side to turn, so that the issue always
shows that we seek not in vain from him whatever is necessary to the
sustenance of life.” - John Calvin
