It is quite true work does not tire, but invigorates the system. Do let us each one seek to work for God, help on His cause which needs workers. Oh! wonderful thought! Christianity could be at once created in millions without us, if He willed it, but no, He wills the willing worker and the teller of His truth. Listen to what this old man said whose business it was to work on the treadle of a machine. A lady saw him and said, “How tired your foot must be.”
“No, lady,” he replied, “it is not the foot that works that gets tired, it is the other foot that stands still. The foot that does nothing, that’s the foot that gets tired.” He worked many hours a day on the machine with one foot, the other got so tired standing still and doing nothing.
Do let each one of us make a point of doing something to please our Father in heaven every day. Pray in the morning to be shown what to do and praise in the evening that you have done it with gladness and joy of heart.
