Get In Tune First

[stephen]

Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.

--Hudson Taylor, 21 May 1832 – 3 June 1905, missionary to China, and founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM -- now OMF International).

Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.

Yes @stephen amen
Such true words

I have the book Hudson Taylor In Early Years
In one of his letters that are quoted in the book he writes:

But Jesus is so lovely, so precious! All must sink in comparison to Him...
...Can we do too much for Him? Can we do too much for such a Saviour?

His praise shall continually be in my mouth
Psalm 34:1
