Serving the Lord

 •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 8
It is a very harassing and profitless occupation to lose time asking oneself, What shall I do now? The next thing to be done is always at the very door, for the smallest thing often leads to the greatest results; and it is in neglecting these that the greatest misadventures have occurred. Nothing is neglected by God.
If at any time I am at a loss to know my true path, I shall ascertain it better by drawing near to the Lord than by cogitating the various bearings of the circumstances. I may be very laboriously fishing all night, and have taken nothing; but if the Lord is with me, I shall surely find the difficulties vanish.
