Do not be anxious to understand the secrets of God.
Do not 'pick the lock' to which He has allowed
no key!
He who will be scanning every cloud...may be smitten with a
thunderbolt...
And he who will labor to pry into God's secrets...may be
overwhelmed with His judgments!
Adam would presumptuously increase his knowledge; therefore Adam dreadfully lost his goodness!
Adam would presumptuously increase his knowledge; therefore Adam dreadfully lost his goodness!
The Bethshemites would pry into the ark of God;
therefore the hand of God slew more than fifty thousand of them!
For my part, I will carefully be improved by things revealed, and not presumptuously inquire into, or after, what He has concealed.
