Gold Nugget 309 - Days of Heaven on Earth
As the pulverized soil is the proper home of seed; as the housewife’s dough is the proper home of leaven; so the heart of man is the proper abode of truth. On stony tablets, in books, or in speech, it is only in transit towards its proper destination. Received and welcomed into the soul, it begins a process of blessed activity; it vitalizes, ennobles, beautifies every part of human nature. It is the seed of all virtue and goodness – the root of Immortal blessedness. …
What we are, in great measure our children will be. … Truth in the heart is translated into righteousness in the life, and righteousness makes heaven. No enjoyment can be perfect in which our children do not share; and in sharing our joys with our children, we multiply our joys beyond all arithmetical measure. Such days of consecrated service will be “days of heaven upon earth.”
The Pulpit Commentary, Deuteronomy p. 208, Deuteronomy 9:18-21, (D. Davies)
