DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary Wilder Tileston emphasizes the importance of seeking God's teaching
and guidance in order to walk in His ways and paths, acknowledging our
need to learn from Him and be directed by His wisdom. She highlights the
significance of silent listening to God rather than focusing on
ourselves, encouraging actions over mere words and appearances. Tileston
stresses the value of putting into practice the knowledge we already
possess, rather than constantly seeking new knowledge. She underscores
the essence of staying focused on God, loving and obeying Him in our
hearts, as a greater pursuit than eloquent speech or vast knowledge.

That which I see not teach Thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do
it no more.

JOB 34:32

He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.

ISAIAH 2:3

YES, take my heart, and in it rule;

Direct it as it pleaseth Thee;

I will be silent in Thy school,

And learn whate'er Thou teachest me.

GERHARD TERSTEFGEN

PEOPLE cannot become perfect by dint of hearing or reading about
perfection. The chief thing is not to listen to yourself, but silently
to listen to God. Talk little and do much, without caring to be seen.
God will teach you more than all the most experienced persons or the
most spiritual books can do. You already know a great deal more than you
practise. You do not need the acquirement of fresh knowledge half so
much as to put in practice that which you already possess.

FRANCOIS DE LA MOTHE FÉNELON

To speak with the tongues of men or angels on religious matters, is a
much less thing than to know how to stay the mind upon God, and abide
with Him in the closet of our hearts, observing, loving, adoring, and
obeying His holy power within us.
