 You take the goods -brooks


[b]You take the goods[/b]

(Thomas Brooks, "Heaven on Earth" 1667)

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants
for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?" Psalm 42:1-2

The rattle without the breast, will not satisfy the child;
the house without the husband, will not satisfy the wife;
the cabinet without the jewel, will not satisfy the maiden;
nor will the world without Christ, satisfy the soul.

The hungry soul will not be put off with any bread but
with the bread of life; the thirsty soul will not be put off
with any water but with the well-springs of life.

As the king of Sodom said once, "You take the goods,
give me the people," Gen 14:21. Just so, says the hungry
soul, "You take the goods--take your honors, and riches,
and the favor of creatures; you take the grain, the oil,
and the wine; give me Christ, give me the light of His
countenance, give me the joy of His Spirit, etc."

 Re: You take the goods -brooks

When we read about the Levites getting no inheritance, for the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, you get the feeling that some people think the Levites were 'short changed'.

What? Short changed by inheriting God? Give me that please!

If you have the Giver, then you have everything.

Some people only seem to pant after God after they have go everything else. Or what they do have they are not satisfied with.

God help us to have a holy fear and reverance for God and the things of God.

God bless.
