There are about 90 pages of writing to read. Each chapter, though short, is packed with mind turning, heart convicting, tear producing, pride humbling truths about God. After those 90 pages, are 4 pages full of scriptures quoted in the book. Every paragraph seems to have a reference to scripture.
At the end of this book, I am more amazed at how incomprehensible and big our God is.
I think I will try to post about each chapter, but I’ll start with the last one.
“The notion therefore we can hence form of His glory, is only such as we may have of a large volume by a brief synopsis, or of a spacious country by a little landscape.” – John Howe, qtd.
I thought my mulling and meditations on God were rather deep, but having been confronted with this very short synopsis of God, I was humbled. I was owned. My thoughts were like the scrapings of the tip of the iceberg scratched with my nails.
And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and foremost commandment…”
It seems so simple, but do I really love God more than I love myself? Often when faced with the selfish decisions I’ve made the answer is, shamefully, ‘no.’ Loving God with all my heart, and with all my soul, and with all my mind is an activity that I must fight my flesh to do.
“Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise!”
Oh, for a purer heart that I might see Him better.
i loved this post.
