Bible Reading, Prayer, and Work
There are three things which will keep a Christian alive—reading the Bible, prayer, work. From the first he obtains spiritual food, sustenance, strength. From the second, in God's presence, he secures a right estimate of himself, confidence in the preciousness of God's constant presence. From the third he learns his own inefficiency to do God's work, his lack in knowledge and power, his inability to reach lost souls, and get the wonderful inspiration of working for others, and he is thus driven to the Word and to prayer. Normally, each makes more necessary the other two, and the three thus used develop a worker with Christ.
