He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much—Luke 16:10.

This does not mean that
the Lord’s people are to be content with the usual routine of daily
life in the home or in the shop, and are to say to themselves, “God
accepts my labor as though it were given directly to Him in some
other more desirable form,” but it does mean that each person so
situated should day by day carefully scan his earthly duties and
obligations to see in what manner he could justly and properly cut
off moments, hours or days from the service of earthly things and
earthly interests that now might be given to sacrifice for spiritual
things and spiritual interests of himself or others. The consecrated
heart, the self-denying disciple, is the one who will improve the
moments as they swiftly fly, using them as far as possible in the
Father’s business. |
