"God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land."
A child of God may be solitary but is never abandoned. Abding in Christ means he has the Son as well as his Father. In the night vision of Daniel the Spirit of God presents us a family which are angels ministering for heirs of salvation and the cloud of witnesses surrounding the child adopted into the household of God.(Dan.7.10;Heb.12.1) As a sign the Covenant gives an innerman as the pledge that we shall be a building of God fitly framed together, It is to which the Son of man in his glory refers in the Parable."Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."(Mt.25.34)
"when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?"The question comes under the department of works and the man child requires constant attention as the virtuous woman who bringeth choicest viands and wine from the word of God is wisely investing in the eternity,"She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar/She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens/She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard/She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms./She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night."(Pro.31.14-18) Her industry is running on faith from which she never takes off her feet. It is this glorifies her Lord and master. "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(Mt.25.40)
