"I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands, I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land." - Psalm 143:5-6 (KJV)
"Among Christians of all ages and of varying shades of doctrinal emphasis there has been fairly full agreement on one thing: They all believed that it was important that the Christian with serious spiritual aspirations should learn to meditate long and often on God.
Let a Christian insist upon rising above the poor average of current religious experience and he will soon come up against the need to know God Himself as the ultimate goal of all Christian doctrine.
Let him seek to explore the sacred wonders of the Triune Godhead and he will discover that sustained and intelligently directed meditation on the Person of God is imperative.
To know God well he must think on Him unceasingly. Nothing that man has discovered about himself or God has revealed any short cut to pure spirituality.
It is still free, but tremendously costly."
taken from That Incredible Christian (A. W. Tozer)
Be encouraged today, beloved friend, there is no limit to the heights we can climb and the depths we can explore as we seek to discover more about the One who redeemed us and called us by His name. And it's not just knowing "about" the triune God...it's knowing HIM -personally, deeply and richly. Begin the adventure today!
My dear Grandma Fisher tought me this poem close to 50 years ago:
"Follow on to know the Lord
Follow where He leads;
'Til the joy of knowing Him,
Ever joy exceeds."

Good morning David...Mr. Tozer again...
He reminds me so much of Mr. G. P Taylor.
I have downloaded and put on to cds Mr. Tozer's sermons from the Sermon audio site and his messages do not beat around the bush. They are always right to the point of how we, as Christians SHOULD be living for our Lord.
What a goal we have in "climbing the heights and exploring the depths" of the love of the Lord Jesus for us!!
Following Him like the disciples of old!
We have been studying His coming in some special ministry meetings this last week with Mr. Jim Smith and we can see that the time is short and so we must continue on Pilgrim David!!
Thanks for such a good reminder!!...From Terry
Just look at the heritage you have David!! Your gramma was a wise lady!
