Reference Text: Isaiah 55:6-7; Ecclesiastes 1:2-14
From The Truth Media family,
Happy New Month!
The fleet astronomer can bore
And thread the spheres with his quick-piercing mind:
He views their stations, walks from door to door
Surveys, as if he had designed
To make a purchase there: he sees their dances
And knoweth long before
Both their full-eyed aspects, and secret glances
The nimble diver with his side
Cuts through the working waves that he may fetch
His dearly-earned pearl, which God did hide
On purpose from the ventrous wretch
That he might save his life, and also hers
Who with excessive pride
Her own destruction and his danger wears
The subtle chymick can devest
And strip the creature naked, till he find
The callow principles within their nest:
There he imparts to them his mind
Admitted to their bed-chamber, before
They appear trim and drest
To ordinary suitors at the door
What hath not man sought out and found
But his dear God? Who yet His glorious law
Embosoms in us, mellowing the ground
With showers and frosts, with love and awe
So that we need not say, where is this command?
Poor man, thou searchest round
To find out death, but missest life at hand.
