Solomon began his
reign with a pious, public visit to God's altar. Those that pursue
present things most eagerly, are likely to be disappointed; while
those that refer themselves to the providence of God, if they have
not the most, have the most comfort.
Those that make this world their end, come short of the other, and
are disappointed in this also; but those that make the other world
their end, shall not only obtain that, and full satisfaction in
it, but shall have as much of this world as is good for them, in
their way.
Let us then be contented, without those great things which men
generally covet, but which commonly prove fatal snares to the
soul. |
