A group of ministers had met together to study Ephesians 6, and they had just come to the verse “Pray at all times.” A maid brought in coffee for the men, and one of them turned to her. He asked her what she thought this verse meant.

She said, “Why, that’s exactly what I do each day. When I wash, I think of my sins being washed away. When I light the fire, I think of the bright light that I should be for the Lord Jesus. When I wash the dishes, I think of the kind of utensil I should be for the Lord.”

No amount of academic knowledge or theological training could have taught those ministers the beautiful truth they learned from her that day.
