"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
When we pray to be filled with the power of God, we often expect to be endued with power and self-confidence, but instead the Lord often humbles us and allows us to see our own brokenness and need for Him in a more profound way. He must increase, but we must decrease (John 3:30).

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!
