... searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God (I Cor. 2:10)
Dwell deep... (Jer. 49:8)
"Geologists assure us that there still exists in the deep sea living species of animals which in former geologic periods dwelt in coastal districts of the ocean. Here they seem to have found an asylum from the dangers which seemed to threaten their very existence.
Just as the safety of these animals depended upon their abiding in the deep sea, even so our own safety as believers on the Lord Jesus Christ depends altogether in our abiding in the secret of the Most High. No matter how unsafe the surroundings, no matter how disagreeable the circumstances, no matter how unhealthy the climate, just as long as the Child of God has learned the secret of dwelling deep in the refuge that has been provided for the Child of God, there is no danger of his being swamped by anything that may come his way."
"Dwell deep, my soul! Forbid thou shouldst stay shallow!
Dwell deep in thought, in purpose, wish, and will!
Dwell deep in God. Let His own presence hallow;
Thy inner being let His presence fill.
Dwell deep, my soul! The Master's glad returning
May hindered be, through those who shallow stay;
The lukewarm hearts, who know no holy burning,
May hinder much that coming welcome Day!"
-J. Danson Smith, (from Daily Meditations)
May God Bless You!
