There is something exceedingly improving
to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity.
It is a subject so vast, that all
our thoughts are lost in it's immensity;
so deep, that our pride is drowned
in it's infinity.
Other subjects we can comprehend
and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of
self-content, and go on our way
with the thought, "Behold I am Wise."
But when we come to this Master-science,
finding that our plumb-line cannot
sound it depth, and that our eagle
eye cannot see it's height, we turn away with the
...solemn exclamation, "I am but
of yesterday and know nothing."...
But while the subject humbles the
mind, it also expands it....
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect,
nothing so magnify the whole soul of man,
as a devout, earnest, continuing
investigation of the great subject of the Deity.
Every Christian should confidently
pursue this goal.
God has promised that those
who seek him will find him.
To those who knock, the
door shall be opened.

the Christian Faith" by James Montgomery Boice.
