Whatsoever Thy Soul Lusteth After

By N. J. E.

3068.—“Whatsoever Thy Soul Lusteth After.” Deut. 14: 26.—N. J. E.—Take in the context, please. That will help very much. Note that this was spoken to the Lord’s people, who were doing His will, who were observing His feasts, who were keeping His ordinances. Taking into consideration this fact, we can readily understand that their souls would not lust after things that were wicked and wrong. They were simply to carry their money with them, and have a real joyful, good feast together. The passage implies no more. They had no such strong drinks in those days as we have now. There were no distilled liquors in the days of Israel.
