HOW TO READ THE BIBLE

Read the Bible, not as a newspaper, but as a home letter.
If a cluster of heavenly fruit hangs within reach, gather it.
If a promise lies upon the page as a blank check, cash it.
If a prayer is recorded, appropriate it, and launch it
as a feather arrow from the bow of your desire.
If an example of holiness gleams before you,
ask God to do as much for you.
If the truth is revealed in all its intrinsic splendour,
entreat that its brilliance may ever irradiate
the hemisphere of your life.

~F.B. Meyer~
