The thing that I appreciate most about Beth Moore is that she drives me back to God and His Word, not to Beth Moore. For me, that is the true test of my sharing this blog. Is it driving those who read to God? That is my prayer. Here is an excerpt from Spurgeon's devotional this morning with the prayer in bold.. Let us remember to grind, gather, pluck and drink.
Our souls are not nourished merely by listening awhile to this, and then to that, and then to the other part of divine truth. Hearing, reading, marking, and learning, all require inwardly digesting to complete their usefulness, and the inward digesting of the truth lies for the most part in meditating upon it.
Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord, and be this our resolve this morning, "I will meditate in Thy precepts."
