James 1:21-25
Charles Spurgeon preached: "We cannot expect to profit much if we bring with us a swarm of idle thoughts and a heart crammed with vanity. If we are full of folly, we may shut out the truth of God from our minds. We should make ready to receive what God is so ready to bestow. ...Can we be busy with earthly cares all the six days of the week and be ready for the holy Sabbath without a thought? I trow [think] not."
