Money Is Really Worth No More Than

The Word Of God Is Our Only Standard, And The Holy Spirit Our Only Teacher.

I Saw More Clearly Than Ever, That The First Great And Primary Business To Which I Ought To Attend Every Day Was, To Have My Soul Happy In The Lord. The First Thing To Be Concerned About Was Not, How Much I Might Serve The Lord, How I Might Glorify The Lord; But How I Might Get My Soul Into A Happy State, And How My Inner Man May Be Nourished...i Saw That The Most Important Thing I Had To Do Was To Give Myself To The Reading Of The Word Of God And To Meditation On It.

Every Instance Of Obedience, From Right Motives, Strengthens Us Spiritually, Whilst Every Act Of Disobedience Weakens Us.

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.

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.
