Read the word always in fellowship with the living God. The power of a word depends on my conviction regarding the man from whom it comes. Then the word certainly becomes to you a great blessing. Read the word, as a living word in which the Spirit of God dwells, and that certainly works in those that believe. The word is seed.
Seed has life, and grows and yields fruit of itself.
The word has life, and of itself grows and yields fruit. The Spirit of God is with and in the word. Read it with the resolve to be, not only a hearer, but a doer of the word. If the word is a command of what you are to do, yield yourself immediately to do it. O there is an unspeakable blessedness in the doing of God's word, and in the surrender of myself to be and to act just as the word says and would have it.
