Thoughts from C.H. Spurgeon on getting to know God

The proper study of the Christian is the Godhead.
The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest
philosophy which can engage the attention of a child of God
is the name, the nature, the person, the doings, and the
existence of the great God . . .



There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of divinity. It is a subject so vast that all our tools are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can comprehend and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self contentment, and go on our way with the thought, “Behold I am wise.” But when we come to this master science, finding that our plumb line cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see it height, we turn away with the thought, I am but of yesterday and know nothing.
