The Lord is my rock
and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. |
Psalm 18:2 (ESV)
Think well what pure and sweet delights a
holy soul may enjoy from God, in his holy service; and then you will see
what sin is, which robs him of these delights, and prefers fleshly lusts
before them.—O how happily might we perform every duty, and how fruitfully
might we serve our Lord, and what delight should we find in his love and
acceptation, and the foresight of everlasting blessedness, if it were not
for sin; which brings down the soul from the doors of heaven, to wallow
with swine in a beloved dunghill !!!!! |
