The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.
The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.
I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the word of God, and to meditation on it. . . . What is the food of the inner man? Not prayer, but the word of God; and . . . not the simple reading of the word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts.
