Into the Deep

I find I can read lists like yesterday’s on the without letting what I’ve read sink in.

Thomas Watson writes in his exposition of the Beatitudes

There are many truths swim in the brain, which do not sink into the heart, and those do us no good. Chew the cud. Let a Christian think seriously with himself, there is a blessedness feasible and I am capable of enjoying it, if I do not lay bars in the way and block up my own happiness. Though I see within nothing but guilt, and without nothing but curses, yet there is a blessedness to be had, and to be had for me too in the use of means.

Thanks to , my ethics and doctrine lecturer at , for introducing me to what Thomas Watson implies by “the use of means”. David lectured on Puritan meditation basing the lecture on Joel R. Beeke’s work .
