A few months before his death at age twenty-nine in 1747, David Brainerd, the missionary to the Indians in New England, wrote to a young ministerial candidate, "Give yourself to prayer, to reading and meditation on divine truths: strive to penetrate to the bottom of them and never be content with a superficial knowledge."*
What great advice not only for a young ministerial candidate but for all of God's people. How much more rich our lives would be, how much more the cause of Christ would advance, how much more glory would God receive if His children actually practiced this.
Striving along side you to be less content,
Ryan
