「深淵說，不在我裡面；滄海說，不在我這裡。」－約伯記28:14
所以我又說：「高山該能使我得安息」，一早起來，我來到我渴想的巍巍高山前，但它卻說：「不在我裡面」！高山竟然也未能滿足我。
噢！我心所真正需要的，乃是祂深廣如海洋的愛，和祂堅定如高山的真理。
智慧不能在深淵中尋見，也不能用金銀寶石所衡量；真正的智慧乃是基督，祂才能滿足我們最深的需要。
我們內心常起波瀾，是因我們尚未得到祂對我們永遠情愛的啟示。
－波登
你無法將老鷹拘禁於森林。
雖然你可以呼喚鳥兒在牠四圍鳴唱，也可以選擇最高大松木作為牠的棲所，或招喚使者帶來美味珍饈，然而牠會傲然地蔑視這些；牠會展翼翱翔於天，眺望斷崖和絕谷，回到牠奇巖的故居，欣賞暴風瀑布潑灑出憾人的樂章。
當人的靈魂能如鷹飛騰，他們的安息就只能尋覓於千山萬水；他們的居所是天上的永久磐石，他們飛翔的路線直指向永恆！
「主阿，你世世代代作我們的居所。」（詩篇90:1）

"It is not in me" (Job 28:14).I remember a summer in which I said, "It is the ocean I need," and I went to the ocean; but it seemed to say, "It is not in me!" The ocean did not do for me what I thought it would. Then I said, "The mountains will rest me," and I went to the mountains, and when I awoke in the morning there stood the grand mountain that I had wanted so much to see; but it said, "It is not in me!" It did not satisfy. Ah! I needed the ocean of His love, and the high mountains of His truth within. It was wisdom that the "depths" said they did not contain, and that could not be compared with jewels or gold or precious stones. Christ is wisdom and our deepest need. Our restlessness within can only be met by the revelation of His eternal friendship and love for us.--Margaret Bottome
You cannot detain the eagle in the forest. You may gather around him a chorus of the choicest birds; you may give him a perch on the goodliest pine; you may charge winged messengers to bring him choicest dainties; but he will spurn them all. Spreading his lofty wings, and with his eye on the Alpine cliff, he will soar away to his own ancestral halls amid the munition of rocks and the wild music of tempest and waterfall.
The soul of man, in its eagle soarings, will rest with nothing short of the Rock of Ages. Its ancestral halls are the halls of Heaven. Its munitions of rocks are the attributes of God. The sweep of its majestic flight is Eternity! "Lord, THOU hast been our dwelling place in all generations."--Macduff.
