The Heavenly and the Mundane

I'm sitting down here in my office now. 3pm. I am feeling such bliss being greeted with a stark ironic conflict of the heavenly and mundane.

Having finished my mundane email-replying work, I have now found myself an opportunity to read and digest John Owen's The Holy Spirit. The opening chapter blows my mind.

"All the concerns of the Holy Spirit are eminently the 'deep things of God', for as the knowledge of them depends wholly on divine revelation, so they are in their own nature heavenly."

Such stark contrast to replying emails about how much money people are getting. But whether mundane or heavenly, I am reminding myself that all things are to be done to God's glory. So here I am, having completed my work, reading a very cheem yet satisfying book. It will probably take me a few months to finish reading it. But won't one be a fool who doesn't give his best to comprehend heavenly things?

Especially during a time when such things are frowned upon and thrown carelessly aside even by devoted men and women.

I think I have just found myself a perfect substitute to the shallow teachings of my time.
