Edwin Smith

“This means that the Scriptures are at the foundation of our productivity because the Scriptures are one of the chief ways God brings about this transformation and builds our character. In Psalm 1, for example, the reason this person flourishes in his character and prospers in all he does (v. 3) is because “his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night” (v. 2).3 Related to this, prayer is also foundational to our productivity because in prayer we call on God for help and strength (notice also how Jesus connects prayer, the Scriptures, and productivity in John 14:7 – 8).”
