So Refresh Ourselves with His Goodness

It therefore becomes us also diligently to prosecute that investigation of God which so enraptures the soul with admiration as, at the same time, to make an efficacious impression on it. And, as  Augustine expresses it, since we are unable to comprehend Him, and are, as it were, overpowered by his greatness, our proper course is to contemplate his works, and so refresh ourselves with His goodness. (John Calvin, Institutes, Book 1, Chapter V)
