1 Samuel 23:1-24:22; Isaiah 62:1-63:14; Romans 6:15-7:6
He that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18
The late King George V of England once wrote in the flyleaf of a friend’s Bible the following words, “The secret of happiness is not to do what you like to do, but to learn to like what you have to do”. God has called us to do our particular work and we must not look enviously at others and wish we had their gifts and calling. If we find things hard and difficult, we need to call upon the Lord to help us to enjoy and be fulfilled in the work He has given us,
remembering that the One who calls us also equips us. Let us serve Him with a cheerful and enthusiastic spirit. —Paul Young
Happy, still in God confiding,
Fruitful if in Christ abiding,
Holy, through the Spirit’s guiding,
All must be well. —Mary Bowley Peters
