10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Bible truth is enriching to the soul in the highest degree; the
metaphor is one which gathers force as it is brought out; gold—fine gold—much
fine gold; it is good, better, best, and therefore it is not only to be desired
with a miser’s avidity, but with more than that. As spiritual treasure is more
noble than mere material wealth, so should it be desired and sought after with
greater eagerness. Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. The
pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of
the most delightful order; earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible, if
compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls
to his portion who has God’s truth to be his heritage.
