Job 34:33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I… There is a way by which you may get everything according to your own mind. Men have been labouring to discover the philosopher's stone — the secret by which they could transmute iron, copper, tin, all their possessions into gold. Now, there is a way — and I will show it in one word — there is a way by which we may get everything according to our own mind. They tell me, if you take two instruments and tune them into perfect harmony, and lay your finger on one and sound it, that the other, though in a fainter tone, sends forth the same note, as though an invisible musician stood by the harp and touched it with the light finger of a spirit. Be that true or not, of all instruments, I know that if the Holy Spirit tune your discordant soul into perfect harmony with God; I know that if there be a holy harmony between heaven and earth, your mind and God, then you have everything according to your own mind, because your mind is according to the mind of God. (A. B. Jack.) Parallel Verses KJV: Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. |
