"When you meet a wise person, listen to him and you will learn wisdom; when you meet a foolish person, listen to him and you will learn patience; when you are alone, listen to God, and you will learn everything else."
Phil sent me this recently. I thought it was a handy little image and wanted to share it with you. When it comes to the Word, we must realize how we are sustained by it. Feeling weary, read the word. Feeling lost, read the word. Feeling joyful, read the word. Here a couple verses to encourage you:
"Thy words were found, and I ate them, and thy words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Lord, God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16 RSVCE
"Jesus said to her, 'Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.' The woman said to him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.'” John 4:13-15 RSVCE
