Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Not all at once, but by degrees shall we attain to holy knowledge,
and our business is to persevere and learn by little and little.
We need
not despair, though our progress may be slow, for we shall yet know.
The LORD, who has become our Teacher, will not give us up, however slow
of understanding we may be; for it is not for His honor that any degree
of human folly should baffle His skill.
The LORD delights to make the
simple wise.
Our duty is to keep to our main topic and follow on to
know, not this peculiar doctrine nor that, but Jehovah
Himself.
To know Father, Son, and Spirit, the Triune God, this is life
eternal.
Let us keep to this, for in this way we shall gain complete
instruction.
By following on to know the LORD, we learn healing after
being torn, binding up after smiting, and life after death.
Experience
has its perfect work when the heart follows the trackway of the Almighty
LORD.
My soul, keep thou close to Jesus, follow on to know God in
Jesus, and so shalt thou come to the knowledge of Christ, which is the
most excellent of all the sciences.
The Holy Ghost will lead thee into
all truth.
Is not this His gracious promise?
Rely upon Him to fulfill
it.
~Charles Spurgeon~
