(John Trapp)
"Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!" Numbers 23:10
Some faint desires, and short-winded wishes, may be sometimes found in carnal men--but the mischief is that they would break God's chain, and would sunder . . .
holiness, from happiness,
sanctification, from salvation,
and the means, from the end.
They would dance with the devil all day--and then dine with Christ at night!
They would live all their lives in Delilah's lap--and then go to Abraham's bosom when they die!
