Hugh Binning, Works, pp. 468-469:

It must be a time of little access to God, and little faith, when we are all secure, and nobody goeth about religion as their work and business. We allow ourselves in it; therefore, we do exhort you, first, To purpose this as your end to aim at, and purpose by God’s grace to take more hold of God. There is little minding of duty, and that maketh little doing of it. Once engage your hearts to a love and desire of more of this, come to a point of resolution; I must know him more, and trust more in him, be more acquaint with him. And, secondly, Put yourselves in the way of duty. It is God that only can stir you up, or apply your hearts to the using of violence to God; but ye would be found in the outward means much, and in these ways God will meet with you, if you wait on him in them.
 
What a great encouragement! As I perform my duties in the secular environment 6 days a week it is a pleasure knowing I do this for Him (Rom 12:1), which in the eyes of the world are purely secular.
