     "Which is the most important of all the commandments?"

     Jesus said, "The first in importance is, ' Listen Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.'"

     "And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'"

john owen meditations

6/15/2019

From CCEL.org
Here is the CCEL summary:
In 1657, John Owen produced one of his finest devotional treatises, probably the substance of a series of sermons. He examines the Christian's communion with God as it relates to all three members of the Holy Trinity. Owen directs Christians towards green pastures and still waters, and lays open the exhaustless springs of the Christian's hidden life with God. Yet, twenty years after its publication, Of Communion with God provoked the heavy criticism from another theologian. This work brings together not only Owen's original work, but also his response to this heavy criticism. In his reply, Owen vindicates himself from the various mystical sentiments that were ascribed to him. This wonderful book illustrates healthy Christian dialogue, and is a wonder to read.

Spurgeon was an English Baptist minister. Start at page seven (7) - captioned "Read and Meditate"

   "...the precious portions of God’s Word that are given you today, in such a manner that you may go in the strength of it for forty days and continue to find fresh food in the same text day after day, and even month after month! But this is only to be done by meditating upon it."

“But how can we meditate,” asks one, “when we have so many things to think of?” But “one

lutheran meditation

Luther's Small Catechism is a Q&A for each line of: The 10 Commandments, The Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer. The intent is to meditate on each bit and ask God to show you what it means, in your mind and in your heart. There is plenty of room to write down your thoughts or draw images. If your mind wonders, gently bring it back to the text.

"Speak not but what may benefit" b. franklin

In chapter 9 of his autobiography, Ben Franklin describes his "plan for attaining moral perfection". His #2 virtue was: "Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation." In Chapter 11 he describes his interactions with Rev. George Whitfield. 

John Wesley's Journal is also worth reading (especially if you love US history).

"...the waiting on God is itself an unspeakable blessedness, one of the highest forms of fellowship with the Holy One, the adoration of Him in His glory will of necessity humble the soul into a holy stillness, making way for God to speak and reveal Himself... Take time not only to secure stillness from man and the world, but from self and its energy."
