Saturated with the Word

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit…”
Hebrews 4:12

“Under his mother’s guidance, Harry Ironside began to memorize Scripture when he was three. By age fourteen, he had read the Bible fourteen times, ‘Once for each year.’ During the rest of his life, he reads the Bible through at least once a year. A pastor recalled a Bible conference at which he and Ironside were two of the speakers. During the conference, the speakers discussed their approaches to personal devotions. Each man shared what he had read from the Word that morning. When it was Ironside’s turn, he hesitated, then said, ‘I read the book of Isaiah,’ He was saturated with the Word of God.”
