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 

thing is necessary,” and it is necessary that the Christian should mediate upon the things of God! I know you must give your minds to many things and I cannot ask you not to do so, but whenever you have time to rest, then let your minds come back to the old home. The birds of the air are all day long picking up their food, but they go straight away to their roost at night, and so when the day’s business is over and the daily bread has been gained, fly to your nest and rest your soul in some precious portion of God’s Word. During the day, too, whenever you are freed from anxiety, let your mind dart upwards — and it will help you to do so if you take a text and make it as wings that enable you to fly to ponder heavenly things. Read and meditate!
