Just as Heat Sets the Soft Clay

Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God. Thus, to meditate in this way is to call to mind the great truths God reveals about himself—his works and…

Some are given great opportunities while others are given minimal opportunities, and some are given massive wealth while others are given paltry wealth or even straight-out poverty.
