Can God set a table in the desert?

Contemplate Him before whom all things are as nothing—the great Spirit Who created us and all things.

Think of Him also as our Father from whom we have sprung—by whose loving heart and strong right arm we are sustained from day to day—by whose wisdom and wondrous goodness all things are beautifully arranged and adapted to our needs.

In all His works we see the finger of the great Intelligence.

We perceive his handiwork in the formation of those old mountains by which we are surrounded.

We see his Fatherly care in the swelling waters of the river, flooding the hot and parched soil and causing the people of the land to sing for joy and gladness, assured that for them and for their children there is yet food in the storehouse of the great Giver.

Even in the desert's barren waste, we may see his Almighty hand at work.
