"Christ chose this weapon (the Word) out of all the others, and used it in His earliest conflict, so, too, He used it when no man was near. The value of Holy Scripture is not alone seen in public teaching or striving for truth, its still small voice is equally powerful when the servant of the Lord is enduring personal trial in the lone wilderness. The severest struggles of a true Christian are usually unknown to any buy himself.

Spurgeon, Spurgeon's Expository Encyclopedia, Vol.15, p. 222
