Watchman NeeOur bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.

Watchman NeeOften Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.
