Serious Meditation On Holy and Heavenly Truths – Thomas Brooks

Remember that it is not a hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Guidance Demands Obedience – Elisabeth Elliot

Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today?

Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next.
