First place in your thoughts(Brooks, "The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures")Friends, these things must have first place in your thoughts:1. Your sinsto humble you and abase you before God.2. God's free and rich and sovereign graceto soften and melt you down into submission to His holy will.3. The Lord Jesus Christto assist, help, strengthen, and influence you in all your duties and services.4. The blessed Scripturesto guide you and lead you, "and to be a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your paths."5. The afflictions of the godlyto draw out your charity, mercy, pity, sympathy and compassion to men in misery.6. The glory and happiness of the eternal worldto arm you and steel you against all your sins, snares and temptations.
