My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

AUGUST The Twenty-ninth THE RICHES OF SPIRITUALITY

PROVERBS iv.1-13.

Let me review some of these riches which are conferred upon the man who has made his soul the guest-room of spiritual religion.

|Love her, and she shall keep thee.| Spirituality is to be my true defence. All other ramparts are vulnerable. They are the happy hunting-ground of the ravages of time; they fail in the crisis; they are the sure victims of moth and rust. But spirituality keeps me from childhood to age, and its shields are invincible, even in the hour of death. |There shall no evil befall thee.|

|Exalt her, and she shall promote thee.| She will lead me in the paths of progress. Every day she will lead me to new conquests, and in constantly enriching character I shall move towards life's appointed goal. Holiness is the only success worth having. Other successes are like lamps whose trembling flames are blown out in the first gusty, stormy night. |But the path of the just is as a shining light that shineth more and more even unto perfect day.|

|She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace.| Yes, and her adornments are always beautiful. No beauty ever steals into the human face comparable with the delicate presence of spirituality. It makes plain features lovely, and transfigures them with |the glory of the Lord.|
