Words Of Counsel

"Let our secret reading prevent the dawning "of the day. Let God's voice be the first we hear in the morning. Mark two or three of the richest verses, and pray over every line and word of them. Let the marks be neatly done, never so as to abuse a copy of the Bible.

In meeting believers on the street or elsewhere, when an easy opportunity offers, recur to the chapters read that morning. This will be a blessed exchange for those idle words which waste the soul and grieve the Holy Spirit of God. In writing letters to those at a distance, make use of the provision that day gathered.

Above all, use the word as a lamp to your feet and a light to your path-your guide in perplexity, your armor in temptation, your food in times of faintness. Hear the constant cry of the great Intercessor, 'Sanctify them through Thy truth:Thy Word is truth.'"
