Who giveth food to all flesh, etc.] To all creatures; the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air, the young ravens that cry, (<19E515>Psalm 145:15,16 147:9). To all men their daily food; to Jews and Gentiles, good men and bad men, (<400611>Matthew 6:11 <441416>Acts 14:16,17); and spiritual food to all that belong to Christ, who are flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone; even himself, the bread of life, the wholesome truths of the Gospel, and its refreshing ordinances; for his mercy [endureth] for ever; he continues to have compassion on his creatures, and opens his hand of providence, and supplies their wants; he is ever mindful of his covenant of grace and mercy, and therefore gives meat to them that fear him, (<19B105>Psalm 111:5).
