Puritan Wisdom

"Meditation is chewing the cud; it makes the word digest and turn to nourishment; it is the bellows of the affections. The devil is an enemy to this. When Christ is alone in the wilderness, giving himself to divine contemplations, the devil comes and tempts him. He will thrust in worldly business, something or other to keep men off holy meditation." -- Thomas Watson, 276.
