In your study of the word of God, penetrate deeper and still deeper beneath the surface. Lay hold by faith on divine power and sound the depths of inspiration. Bring into your ministry the power of God, remembering that the Lord is behind you. Let His love shine through all you do and say. Let the truth, the precious, simple truth of the word of God, shine out in full brightness. Humble self before God. Christ will be your efficiency. He has appointed you as rulers over His household, to give meat in due season. Christ’s laborers are very near His heart of love. He desires to perfect His household through the perfection of His ministers. {9T 151.1}

I vort studium af Guds ord bør vi søge at trænge stadig dybere under overfladen. Vi må ved troens hånd gribe fat på dem guddommelige kraft og søge at udforske inspirationens dybder. Vi må have Gud med os i vor virksomhed og komme i hu, at Herren vil bistå os. Sandheden, den dyrebare, ligefremme sandhed i Guds ord, skal forkyndes i al dens fylde. Vi må ydmyge os for Gud. Kristus må være vor styrke og visdom. Han har sat os til husholdere over sit gods, til at give mad i rette tid. Kristi tjenere står hans kærlige hjerte meget nær. Han søger at føre sine børn frem til fuldkommenhed gennem sine tjeneres fuldkommenhed.
