| | So I was reading and ran across this quote and thought I'd pass it along.
"If, by this means (the meditation of scripture), thou dost not find an increase of all they graces, and dost not grow beyond the stature of common Christians, and are not made more serviceable in thy place, and more precious in the eyes of all discerning persons; if thy soul enjoy not more communion with God, and thy life be not fuller of comfort, and hast it not readier by thee at a dying hour: then cast away joy these directions, and exclaim against me for ever as a deceiver."
- Richard Baxter
Quoted in "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian LIFE" by Donald S. Whitney pg. 63
To paraphrase, if you meditate on scripture and you don't become a better Christian, and enjoy being a Christian more, then something isn't right.
Or, if you're bored with your spiritual life, start meditating on scripture and watch God work in your life and make it dynamic again.
