“A frog would leap from a throne of gold into a puddle.” -Publilius Syrus

And just as a frog has no true appreciation of the fine things of this world, but would prefer a dirty puddle to a golden throne, so too is the sinner before God.

The sinner does not appreciate the Almighty, nor does he seek to be in His presence, but would rather hop down from such lofty things into the lowly puddles of his own self-centered life.

Men love darkness, rather than light, because their deeds are evil, and wish to remain in darkness. Yet the man who has had his eyes opened to the truth, and has humbled himself before the Lord, will appreciate God’s goodness and value, and seek after Him as that golden throne.

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” -Psalm 27:4
