IN SHORT Seeing one source behind everything fills your worship with love.
Theology flowers into affection: metaphysical insight wakes the heart. Wisdom and love are one movement here. This verse is the seed of the devotional climax in 10.9-11. It is like learning one dam powers a whole city and feeling thankful each time you switch on a light.
