IV. If we would profit by the Word of God, we must go to God, and desire the light and strength of his grace.

:566p. 72

If we would enjoy the blessed God, according to the direction of his Word, we must not only consult with the Word, but with God; nothing else can draw us off from the world, and persuade us to look after Heavenly things; nothing else will teach us the vanity of the Creature, the reality of spiritual privileges. Until we see these things in a Divine light, the heart hangs off from God; and therefore saith David, Psal. 16. 7. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel. He had chosen God for his portion, and then I will bless the Lord, &c. We shall still run after lying vanities, until God doth open our eyes to see the mysteries of the Word, and to be affected with the way. Those that are drawn to God, must first be taught of God, Joh. 6. 44. No man cometh to me, except the Father which hath sent me, draw him. For Christ adds presently, They shall be all taught of God. Our hearts can never be drawn unto God until he take us into his own hands.
