Rise And
Shine
“As long as it is day, We must do the work of him who
sent me.”—John 9:4
If you woke up in this
morning and saw the light of day, God has work for you to do.
Perhaps your work is to
love and to pray, laboring fervently in prayers, that others "may stand
perfect and complete in all the will of God” (Colossians 4:12).
Your work may be to listen
quietly and attentively to those that are weary and speak words of comfort to
them. Or it may be to endure pain with cheerful endurance, and gratitude for
those who serve you. If you've done nothing more than this you’ve done the work
of him who sent you.
Do you think you're too
old, too sick, too weary to do God's work? "He is able to
make all grace abound to you, so that in all things
at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in
every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Years ago I read an
introduction to a commentary by Matthew Henry that states well my thoughts as I
write: “If I may but be instrumental to make others wise and good, wiser and
better and more in love with God and His word, I have all I desire, all I aim
at.”
Who could ask for anything
more?
