O for what trifles, will men cast away their precious souls!
It is proper only to children, not to men, to be petulant for toys and trifles. So let the men of this world lament the loss of worldly vanities. But let the heirs of God, the joint-heirs with Christ, rejoice that the treasures of eternity are theirs!
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see." Happy are those who have the eyes of their mind opened, and clearly see the deformity of sin, the beauty of holiness, the excellency of piety, the necessity of the new birth, the preciousness of Christ, the glory of eternal realities.
I see the mutable and fickle state of temporal things, and therefore hold a loose grip on the creature, however dear, however near and set my affections on things which are above!
[James Meikle]
Colossians 3:1-4 … If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
