Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 10:17

What a sublime representation is here given, in the compass of a short verse, of the greatness of JEHOVAH. And what a sweet relief is it to the mind of the faithful, when at anytime they are overpowered with the greatness of the GODHEAD, to call to mind that we are not only permitted to look up, but to draw near, through him who is our way, and truth, and life. Blessed JESUS! thou day's-man of thy people! may I through thee draw near at all times, to a gracious GOD and FATHER in JESUS. Ephesians 2:18.
