This morning I was taken by these comments from A.W. Tozer (1897-1963). He writes:
....the way to
escape religion as a front is to make it a fount. See to it that we pray more
than we preach and we will never preach ourselves out. Stay with God in the
secret place longer than we are with men in the public place and the fountain
of our wisdom will never dry up. Keep our hearts open to the inflowing Spirit
and we will not become exhausted by the outflow. Cultivate the acquaintance of
God more than the friendship of men and we will always have abundance of bread
to give to the hungry.
Our first
responsibility is not to the public but to God and our own souls.
God Tells the Man Who Cares, 115-116
– AW Tozer
I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word. -Psalm 119:147-148
