DAILY READINGS: Judg. 10:6 to 11:28; Isa. 31; 1 Cor. 9:24 to 10:13
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working
with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to
give to him that needeth. Ephesians 4:28
What a privilege to be “labourers together with God” (1 Cor. 3:9)
in the vast harvest fi elds of our day. In view of the fact that our
heavenly Father is a benevolent Master (in contrast to the cruel taskmasters
of Egypt) should we not work joyfully and wholeheartedly
for Him? As we do so, we’ll fi nd a blessing for ourselves and we’ll
become a source of blessing to others. So carry on faithful servant,
the day of reckoning is yet before us. He’ll sett le the accounts in a
just and righteous manner. —W. H. Gustafson
Let me ever work with a willing hand, in the service of my King,
Guided by His Word, heeding each command, in the service of my King!—T. S. T.
