Puritan Wisdom


On Hebrews 2:5-9 – “Thoughts of God's omnipresence are of singular used to the soul in every condition. And who can sufficiently admire this excellency of the nature of God? How astonishable is this his greatness!  How are all the nations of the world as the ‘drop of a bucket,’as the ‘balance,’ as ‘vanity,’ as ‘nothing’ before him!  What is a little dust to an immensity of being? To that whose greatness we cannot measure, whose nature we cannot comprehend, whose glory we can only stand afar off and adore? What is a poor worm unto him who is everywhere, and who is everywhere filled with his own excellencies and blessedness?” – John Owen, Epistle to the Hebrews, volume 3, 345-346.
