Subject: Golden Mines |
Bible Note: "My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God." (Proverbs 2:1-5 ESV) "Let this commend the Scriptures much to our diligence and affection -- that their great theme is our Redeemer, and redemption wrought by Him. They contain the doctrine of His excellences, and are the lively picture of His matchless beauty. Were we more in them, we would daily see more of Him in them -- and so of necessity love Him more. But we must look within them -- the letter is but the case -- the spiritual sense is what we should desire to see. We usually huddle them over, and see no further than their outside, and therefore find so little sweetness in them. We read them, but we don't search them as He requires. Would we dig into these golden mines, we would find treasures of comfort which cannot be spent, but which would furnish us in the hardest times!" --Robert Leighton (1611-1684) |
