Who Do You Work For?

My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.

JOHN 4:34


THEY who tread the path of labor follow where My feet have trod;

They who work without complaining do the holy will of God.

HENRY VAN DYKE


WHENCE comes it that we have so many com­plaints, each saying that his occupation is a hin­drance to him, while notwithstanding his work is of God, who hindereth no man? Whence comes this in­ward reproof and sense of guilt which torment and disquiet you? Dear children, know that it is not your work which gives you this disquiet. No; it is your want of order in fulfilling your work. If you per­formed your work in the right method, with a sole aim to God, and not to yourselves, your own likes and dislikes, nor sought your own gain or pleasure, but only God's glory, in your work, it would be impossible that it should grieve your conscience. It is a shame for a man if he have not done his work properly, but so imperfectly that he has to be rebuked for it. For this is a sure sign that his works are not done in God, with a view to His glory and the good of his neighbor.
