The More Light, the More Dust We See
Job 13:23; Jeremiah 17:9
Preaching Themes: Repentance, Sin, Watchfulness
You know how it is with yourselves. It is like when a housewife cleans her room; she looks, and there is no dust. The air is clear, and all her furniture is shining brightly. But there is a chink in the window shutter, a ray of light creeps in, and you see the dust dancing up and down, thousands of grains, in the sunbeam. It is all over the room the same, but she can see it only where the sunbeam comes.
It is just so with us. God sends a ray of divine light into the heart, and then we see how vile and full of iniquity it is.
