92. In all things he was accustomed both to be
full and to be hungry. Blessed is he that knows how to be full in
Christ. Not corporal, but spiritual, is that satiety which
knowledge brings about. And rightly is
there need of knowledge: “For
man lives not by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Deut. viii. 3. For he who knew how to be full also knew
how to be hungry, so as to be always seeking something new, hungering
after God, thirsting for the Lord. He knew how to hunger, for he
knew that the hungry shall eat. S. Matt. v. 6. He knew, also,
how to abound, and was able to abound, for he had nothing and yet
possessed all things. 2 Cor. vi. 10.
