Augustine: the profundity of the Scriptures

Thursday, July 18, 2019
Meditation:
    Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
    —Romans 11:33 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Wonderful is the depth of thy words, whose surface is before us, gently leading on the little ones: and yet a wonderful deepness, O my God, a wonderful deepness. It is awe to look into it; even an awfulness of honour, and a trembling of love.
    ... St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), Confessions [397], Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1886, XII.xiv, p. 328 (see the book)
    See also Rom. 11:33; Ps. 31:19; 107:15; 139:1-6; Eph. 3:8,16-19; Col. 1:27; 2:2-3
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your word pierces my heart. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
