"For Thou, Lord, hast made me glad thru Thy work: I will triumph in the work of Thy hands. O Lord, how great are Thy works! And Thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this." Psalm 92:4-. Evidently the Psalmist spent a great deal of time thinking on the things of heaven and contemplating the handiwork of God. From such contemplation there came to him the grand conception of God's works and power which we find ex emplified in his writings. To the Psalmist it was a blessed and ele vating experience to become wrapt in the thoughts of God, clothed up on with the slpendors and wonders of the universe. Some people simply cannot appre ciate such an experience. They seem incapable of these boundless and rapturous sweeps of vision and thought. They seem to have brains only for those things that are vul gar, coarse, frivolous, narrow and sordid. Their thinking is all earth ward, never heavenward. "A brutish man knoweth not." A brute is a creature of the lower or der, of the dust; and there are many men who are nothing more than mere creatures of the dust, living upon the low, creeping level of the unthinking brute; moved only by fleshly desires, with never a thought above the ground. Steeped in the dregs of materialism, they have apparently become insensate to any high and noble thinking. "Neither doth a fool understand this." He does not understand be cause he has never trained his mind for high thinking. Continu ally occupying his mind with ma terialistic and vulgar thoughts, he has become incapable of heavenly and spiritual conceptions. Nevertheless, man is Divinely en- j dowed with a capacity for a higher level of thinking than that of the brutish man and the fool. We not only sin against God, but we sin against our better selves, when we neglect to cultivate and develop this capacity. Like the Psalmist, we must train ourselves to THINK HEAVENWARD; and, contemplat ing the works of God, fill our souls with the larger and higher thoughts and aspirations that just naturally follow such contemplation. God help us to foundation our reading and thinking on His Word, then we shall be always THINKING HEAV ENWARD. . Are you affiliated with any relig ious organization locally?
