Fuller: the expositor's prayer

Saturday, June 22, 2019
    Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209
Meditation:
    Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it.
    —1 Corinthians 3:1-2a (NIV)
Quotation:
    Grant that I may never rack a Scripture simile beyond the true intent thereof, lest, instead of sucking milk, I squeeze blood out of it.
    ... Thomas Fuller (1608-1661), Good Thoughts in Bad Times [1645], Chicago: United Society of Christian Endeavor, Boston, 1898, “Scripture Observations,” I (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your word is food for me. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
