He who often thinks of God will have a larger mind than the man who simply plods around this narrow globe. The most excellent study for expanding the soul than the science of Christ, and him crusfied, and the knowledge of the godhead in the glorious trinity. Nothing will so inlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, ernist, continued investigation of the great subject of the deity. And whilest humbling and expanding, this subject is iminently consolatory. Oh there is in contemplating Christ a balm for every wound; in musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief; and in the influence Holy Ghost, there is a balsam for every sore. Would you lose your sorrow? Would you drown your cares? Then go plunge yourself in the godhead’s deepest sea; be lost in his imminsity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated. I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing on the godhead.
C. H. Spurgeon as quoted by J. I. Packer, Knowing God (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 1973), 18
