The glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams.
Isaiah 33:21
"Broad rivers and streams produce fertility,
and abundance in the land.
God is all this to His Church.
Having God she has abundance.
What can she ask for that He will not give her?
Want ye the bread of life?
It drops like manna from the sky.
Want ye refreshing streams?
The rock follows you, and that Rock is Christ.
If you suffer any want it is your own fault;
Our glorious Lord is to us a place of heavenly merchandize.
Through our Redeemer we have commerce with the past;
the wealth of Calvary,
the treasures of the covenant, the riches of the ancient days of election,
the stores of eternity, all come to us down the broad stream of our gracious Lord.
We have commerce, too, with the future.
What galleys, laden to the water's edge, come to us from the millennium!"
Charles Spurgeon
