God will fill the hungry because of those sweet relations he stands unto them—they are his children. We cannot deny our children when they are hungry. We will rather spare it from our own selves (Luke 11:13). When he who is born of God shall come and say, ‘Father, I hunger, give me Christ! Father, I thirst, refresh me with the living streams of your Spirit!’ can God deny him? Does God hear the raven when it cries, and will he not hear the righteous when they cry? When the earth opens its mouth and thirsts, God satisfies it (Psalm 65:9, 10). Does the Lord satisfy the thirsty earth with showers and will he not satisfy the thirsty soul with grace? – Thomas Watson, The Beatitudes
