Here is the quote David passed along to me that I shared last night. Don’t scarf…savor.
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. – Thomas Brooks

Thanks David and Josh for sharing this. I sometimes have a hard time sticking with the a part of scripture long enough to get the really “sweet” parts out. That is a great reminder.
