Have not I written to thee excellent things? Proverbs 22:20
RO 22:20{If I had something very special to tell you, and instead of saying it with my voice I wrote it down on a piece of paper, and gave it to you to look at, would not that be exactly the same as if I had told you with my lips? And you would take the paper eagerly to see what it was that I had said to you. So today, when you read your Bible, either alone or with the family, watch to see what Jesus will say to you in it. You will never watch in vain. You will see some word that seems to come home to you, and that you had never noticed so much before. Oh, listen lovingly to it, for that is what He says to you! Or if you are really watching and wishing for a word from Him, some sweet text will come into your mind, and you wonder what made you think of it! That is the voice of Jesus speaking to your heart. Listen to it, and treasure it up, and follow it; and then watch to see what else He will say to you. Say to Him, "Master, say on.”
But as I lay and waited for the sleep
That had been asked, the Book beside my band
Lured me to glance at lightly opening leaves.
Did not Thy loving Spirit guide the glance
That fell upon the unsought word of power:
“He is thy Lord!" So simple, yet so strong,
So all-embracing! oh, it was enough
To chase away all mists and Blooms of life.
