To draw near to God is our peace. 1The only thing which breaks our peace, is, when we do not keep close to God: but what harmony, yea Heaven is in the soul when it draws nigh to God! Psal. 119. 165. Great peace have they that love thy Law. This peace like Pearl in broth is cordial. David drew nigh to God, for he was ever with him, Psal. 139. 17. And this made his pillow soft when he went to sleep, Psal. 4. 8. I will lay me down in peace*; As the honey-dew falls upon the leaf: O that sweet serenity which drops as honey upon the soul, while it is drawing nigh to God! How comfortable is it to draw near the Sun! and how sweet ⟨p. 212⟩is it to approach nigh to the Sun of Righteousness!
