God has many ways of providing for his people, without the ordinary means of subsistence and therefore he is not at any time to be distrusted, but at all times to be depended upon, in the way of duty.
If meat be wanting, God can take away the appetite, or give such degrees of patience as will enable a man even to laugh at destruction and famine (Job 5:22), or make pulse and water more nourishing than all the portion of the king's meat (Daniel 1:12,13), and enable his people to rejoice in the Lord, when the fig-tree doth not blossom, Habakkuk 3:17.
