<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b>Vocal meditation on God's
word was not a habit with George Muller for the first 10 years of his
life as a believer. He states in his autobiography the amazing change
that started in his life once he committed himself to daily vocal
meditation upon the Word of God. In no B ible Commentary nor in any
sermon had he run across this discipline. He found it of such value
that from the age of 70 to 87, he traveled 200,000 miles in 40
different countries, and this was one of the seven major emphases
that he made in each address. It is unfortunate that believers have
not dipped into their Jewish Roots, for they they would soon have had
this secret that flows out of “The Living Talmud.” and the
practice of davening. - Jim Watt</b></font></p>
