If it is not the aim of your heart to practice what you read, to what end do you read?
To increase your own condemnation? If your light and knowledge is not turned into practice, the more knowing man you are, the more miserable man you will be in the day of recompense! Your light and knowledge will be that rod that will eternally lash you,
and that scorpion that will forever bite you,
and that worm that will everlastingly gnaw you!
Therefore read and labor to know, that you may DO or else you are undone for ever!
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 who reads most, but he who meditates most who will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian!
[Thomas Brooks]
2 Timothy 2:15 ... Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
