We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.

There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
