| Dear Young Christian: |
| The work of the Lord usually has small beginnings. |
| I have recently been reading of different pioneer missionaries such as Hudson Taylor to China, Ida Scudder to India, John Williams to the South Sea Islands, Mary Slessor to Calabar, West Africa, and so on. I have read these and many other accounts over the years, but the one thing that impressed me this time was how insignificant the work seemed at first. And yet those individuals pressed on by faith in spite of much opposition and many setbacks. As the work grew so did their faith, and, by the end of each one’s life, much had been accomplished to the glory of God. |
| Has the Lord given you something to do in His service? Remember, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much” (Luke 16:10). The work of the Lord has small beginnings, and, in the measure in which we are diligent and faithful, we will be given more, and the work will grow and flourish.This week, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). |
