Give Attendance to Reading

“The sacred page

With calm attention scan! If on thy soul,

As thou dost read, a ray of purer light

Break in—oh, check it not; give it full scope!

Admitted, it will break the clouds which long

Have dimmed thy sight, and lead thee, till at last,

Convictions, like the sun’s meridian beams,

Illuminate thy mind.”
--Samuel Hayes

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do" (Heb. 4:12-13).
