This morning I was reading a dead guy…which tends to be enlightening and reliable because we know how they finished the race. Today’s dead guy was Thomas Brooks who wrote “Precious remedies against Satan’s devices”. The thought was concerning making the most of what we read.

“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 that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time upon the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian.”

Since I am a man who loves valuable information and can move from one piece of info to another…this quote is an important reminder for me. I must walk slow and hover over the deep truths and by God’s grace I may become the man whom God intends.
