THE WORD WITHIN

Let it be your care to hide the Word in your hearts, and get the teachings of the Spirit; that, whatever changes of Providence be upon the world, you may have the light and comfort of the Scriptures to direct and cheer your souls. Sanctification is the writing of God's law in your hearts; and what is written there is secure and safe. The word within you is more secure, sweet and effectual, than the word without you. Jerome saith of Nepotianus, that by long and assiduous meditation of the Scriptures, his breast has at last become the library of Christ. O, that the breast of every Christian were so too!—Quarles.
