“I let myself be carried on the stream of devotion”

“When I feel I cannot make headway in devotion, I open the Psalms and push out my canoe and let myself be carried on the stream of devotion that flows through the whole book. The current always sets toward God and in most places is strong and deep.”

James Gilmour, a Victorian missionary to Mongolia, quoted in Leslie Allen, Psalms, Word Biblical Themes Series (Waco: Word, 1987).
