STEEP IN THE WORD

When I go back to Aiken,I will often go over to May's, and visit with her over a cup of hot tea. May says you must let the water boil an extra long time, before you put the tea bag in, and then you must always steep it for a long time, to be sure you get the true flavor of the tea bag!
I treasure the wisdom of this 91 year "young" friend, so I make sure to do it too.....
It's the same way, when we read God's word too.....
We need to pour over it, over and over, and when we do, we need to steep our thoughts into it for a long time, so that we can get the true flavor of what God means!
When I drink hor tea, it is usually decaffeinated tea, but when I drink of the "living water" tea,I want to steep my thoughts into the real and very strong stuff!
It's just right, even without a "Steeped In The Word" teabag.
