1 Samuel 29-30
Preface - The Jews who came out of Egypt had all sacraments typical of ours, yet many of them perished through sin. Their examples should serve, as they were intended, for our admonition. God will not suffer his servants to be tempted beyond their strength. Christians must flee idolatry, and not by partaking of idol sacrifices own fellowship with devils. Even in the use of things lawful we should consult the good of others, and refer all we do to God's glory, careful to give none offence, after the apostle's own example.
1 Corinthians 10

A Puritans Catechism
Q68 - How may we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?
A - To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting alone to his blood and righteousness. This faith is attended by repentance for the past and leads to holiness in the future.

He will feed you
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. - John 10 v 9
If Jesus has saved you He will feed you, he will feed your body. 'I have been young, and now am old, yet never saw I the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.'
The birds without barn or storehouse are fed.
From them let us learn to trust for our bread; his saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, so long as 'tis fitting shall ne'er be denied,
So long as 'tis written - the Lord will proved.
He will feed your soul. He that feeds the little flower in the cleft of the craggy precipice, where no hand of man can reach it, will feed your soul with silent drops of heavenly dew.
