Isaac WattsYet we console ourselves with the knowledge that it is God Himself who puts it in our hearts to seek Him and makes it possible in some measure to know Him, and He is pleased with even the feeblest effort to make Him known. If some watcher or holy one who has spent his glad centuries by the sea of fire were to come to earth, how meaningless to him would be the ceaseless chatter of the busy tribes of men. How strange to him and how empty would sound the flat, stale, and profitless words heard in the average pulpit from week to week. And were such a one to speak on earth would he not speak of God? Would he not charm and fascinate his hearers with rapturous descriptions of the Godhead? And after hearing him could we ever again consent to listen to anything less than theology, the doctrine of God? Would we not thereafter demand of those who would presume to teach us that they speak to us from the mount of divine vision or remain silent altogether?PrayerLord, let our ears desire to hear You speak from the mount of divine vision the rapturous descriptions of the Godhead.

-Thanks for posting, Giancarlo. One of my professors at Regent University attended the Southside Alliance Church when Tozer was there. Dr. Jefferson used to say, "Were it not for Tozer's writings, I doubt if I would have read anything in those days." After discovering some of Dr. Tozer's writings and sermons, I concur wholeheartedly..-Referring to the burning bush that Moses saw, here is a portion of Tozer's devotional "Tozer On The Holy Spirit" for Jan. 14th: "Our only real danger is that we may grieve the blessed Spirit into silence and so be left to the mercy of our intellects.. We'll have the bush, pruned and trimmed and properly cultivated, but in the bush there will be no fire"..-Thanks again, brother...

Classic Tozer here.
