In the cold month of January 1692, Philip Henry wrote some homely words to his daughter about keeping warm, with the spiritual counterpart.
1. Get into the sun; under His blessed beams there are warmth and comfort.
2. Go near the fire; “is not my word like unto a fire?”
3. Keep in motion and action; stir up the gift and grace of God that is in you.
4. Seek Christian communion; “How can one be warm alone?”
(From the Lives of Philip and Matthew Henry.)
