Abiding In God's Word

“If you know these things, blessed and happy are you if you do them.” Jn 13:17

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. Know that it is not the knowing, nor the talking, nor the reading man—but the doing man, that at last will be found the happiest man.
