FROM TODAY'S READING...
"Remember, it is not hasty reading — but serious meditating upon holy and heavenly truths, that make them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the bee's touching of the flower, which gathers honey — but her abiding for a time upon the flower, which draws out the sweet. It is not he who reads most — but he who meditates most, who will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian."
Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
English Puritan preacher and author
Psalms 119:15-18 (NLT) I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word. Be good to your servant, that I may live and obey your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.
2 Corinthians 4:7 (NLT) We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
