“Leave not off reading in the Bible, till you find your hearts warmed.

**Psalm 119:93**: “_I will never forget thy precepts, for with them thou hast quickened
me_.”

Read the word not only as a history, but strive to be affected with it.

Let it not only inform you, but inflame you.

**Jer. 23:29**: “_Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord_.”

Go not from the word till you can say as those disciples; **Luke 24:32**: “_Did 
not our hearts burn within us?_”
