The Lord Jesus, Everything. In

It Often Astonishes Me That I Did Not See The Importance Of Meditation Upon Scripture Earlier In My Christian Life. As The Outward Man Is Not Fit For Work For Any Length Of Time Unless He Eats, So It Is With The Inner Man. What Is The Food For The Inner Man? Not Prayer, But The Word Of God -not The Simple Reading Of The Word Of God, So That It Only Passes Through Our Minds, Just As Water Runs Through A Pipe. No, We Must Consider What We Read, Ponder Over It, And Apply It To Our Hearts.

If The Holy Spirit Guides Us, He Will Do It According To The Scriptures And Never Contrary To Them.

God Not Only Orders Our Steps, He Orders Our Stops.

It Is True That The Faith, Which I Am Enabled To Exercise, Is Altogether God's Own Gift; It Is True That He Alone Supports It, And That He Alone Can Increase It; It Is True That, Moment By Moment, I Depend Upon Him For It, And That, If I Were Only One Moment Left To Myself, My Faith Would Utterly Fail.

Now What Is Food For The Inner Man? Not Prayer, But The Word Of God; And Here Again, Not The Simple Reading Of The Word Of God, So That It Only Passes Through Our Minds, Just As Water Passes Through A Pipe, But Considering What We Read, Pondering It Over And Applying It To Our Hearts.
