Daddy's Daughter: Insights on My Dad's Sermon

Today my dad preached on Psalm 1. In his sermon ("Two Ways to Live"), he shared a fantastic quote by C. H. Spurgeon on "The Man Who Meditates" that I thought I would share with you!
“This was both the effect of his love and the cause of it. He meditated in God's word because he loved it, and then loved it the more because he meditated in it. He could not have enough of it, so ardently did he love it: all the day was not too long for his converse with it. His main prayer, his noonday thought, his evensong were all out of Holy Writ; yea, in his worldly business he still kept his mind saturated with the law of the Lord. It is said of some men that the more you know them the less you admire them; but the reverse is true of God's word. Familiarity with the word of God breeds affection, and affection seeks yet greater familiarity. When "thy law," and "my meditation" are together all the day, the day grows holy, devout, and happy, and the heart lives with God.”
