DIG DEEPER
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
March 13
The study of the Bible
is not unlike the search for diamonds in South Africa.
At first people found a few diamonds in the yellow clay,
and they were delighted with their good fortune,
even while they supposed
that this was to be the full extent of their find.
Then, upon digging deeper, they came upon the blue clay,
and to their amazement
found as many precious stones in a day
as they had previously found in a year.
In your exploration of Bible Truth,
see to it that you do not rest satisfied in the yellow clay
of a few spiritual discoveries,
but press on to the rich blue clay underneath.
The Bible, however,
differs from the diamond field in the sublime fact
that beneath the blue clay there are more
and still more and richer strata,
awaiting the touch of spiritual perception—
on and on to Infinity.
“0 the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!”
Romans 11:33
