Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 363: “The Glorious Right Hand Of The Lord” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1861)

GOD had made a positive promise to Moses that for the space of a whole month he would feed the vast host in the wilderness with flesh. Moses, being overtaken by a fit of unbelief, looks to the outward means—calculates his commissariat—and is at a loss to know how the promise can be fulfilled. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain? How, then, should they have cattle wherewith to stock the land upon which they hoped soon to enter? And if they should slaughter all their beasts, there would not be food enough for ravenous people for a month.
