"I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways." Psalm 119:15

The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day, is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing cordial to a weary traveler!

Nothing is more helpful and practical in Christian living, than the habit of getting a verse or phrase of Scripture into the mind and heart in the morning. Its influence stays through the day, weaving itself into all the day's thoughts and words and experiences.

Every verse in the Bible is meant to help us to live, and a good devotional book opens up the precious teachings which are folded up in its words.

A devotional book which takes a Scripture text, and so opens it for us in the morning, that all day long it helps us to live, becoming a true lamp to our feet, and a staff to lean upon when the way is rough-is the very best devotional help we can possibly have. What we need in a devotional book which will bless our lives, is the application of the great teachings of Scripture to common, daily, practical life!

"His delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night!" Psalm 1:2

"Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long!" Psalm 119:97
 

Robert Harris:
"We must be careful . . .
  to read Scripture,
  to embed it in our hearts by meditation,
  and to apply it closely to our consciences.
Only then it will be profitable to our hearts!"
