Among the many things Christ is compared to in the holy scripture, to set forth his transcendent excellency, beauty, usefulness, and perfections, this of a Fountain is none of the least, it being a most profitable metaphor.
What would our life be like if nothing existed beyond the world we see? What if all we had was under the sun? How would this change our life, our hopes, our dreams?
How is your love relationship with the Saviour? Does your heart ache when that fellowship is hindered? Do you seek and seek until you find him again?
What are the things that are most important to you? Judge them by the vanity factor. Do they satisfy? Will they last? How does God view them?
We are so limited in our understanding by having the world in our hearts. Yet God is working all things together to the good of His own people and purposes.
