The Believer's Portion Superior to the World's
Jeremiah 2:18
And now what have you to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what have you to do in the way of Assyria…


Thou hast tasted of better drink than the muddy river of this world's pleasure can give thee. If thy profession be not a lie thou hast had fellowship with Christ, thou hast had that joy which only the blessed Spirits above and the chosen ones on earth can know. Hast thou eaten the bread of angels, and canst thou live on husks? Good Rutherford once said, "I have tasted of Christ's own manna and it hath put my mouth out of taste with the brown bread of this world's joy." "What hast thou to do," etc.
