Food for the Soul

The soul needs food as well as the body — not only in set seasons, or in public ordinances — but frequently and privately. Here then, is spiritual food in small portions — with which the soul may be fed, and the time not be missed.
Every portion leads to Jesus — or brings something from Jesus; for the author has leaned in the school of experience, that Jesus alone will satisfy and sanctify the believer's heart. The more we have to do with Jesus — the better for us, and the more glorifying to God.
Gracious Lord, honor this little book — by making it the means of honoring your beloved Son, and feeding the souls of your beloved people.
Oh, to exalt the Lord Jesus more and more! Oh, to be made more like Jesus from day to day! Sacred Spirit, use this little book to so great and glorious a purpose!
