"In my meditations of late, I have been somewhat occupied with four things that, it seems to me, the believer needs in his daily walk before the Lord. The first of these is a "hearing ear," to listen to what God has to say through His Word. Second, an "open heart" to receive it by faith as from Himself. Then a "tender conscience" to apply it to self. And finally a "willing spirit" to seek by His grace to walk in the good of it."
