The trifles which God gives
(Thomas Brooks, "Heaven on Earth" 1667)
The emperor Augustus, in his great feasts, gave trifles to some--but gold to others.
Just so--honors, riches and worldly pleasures are the trifles which God gives to the worst of men.
God gives His gold--His special love and grace--only to His people.
