God gave them plenty, and they ate "and were filled." He gave them what they sought, flesh; feathered birds came in abundance. Notwithstanding, they were not satisfied, "were not estranged from their lust"; they had still a craving for something more. Here is dissatisfaction with plenty.

I. This is a very PREVALENT experience. Men in plenty are everywhere in dissatisfaction. Where there is

(1)  Plenty of food,

(2)  Plenty of money,

(3)  Plenty of books,

(4)  Plenty of popularity,

(5)  Plenty of amusements, men cry everywhere, "Who will show us any good?"

II. This is a very SUGGESTIVE experience. It implies —

1. Something bad that is existing. Conflicting passions, compunctive consciences, moral forebodings within, prevent the possibility of satisfaction.

2. Something good that is lacking. What is the deep hunger of the soul? God.

(Homilist.)
