"Here
is the great secret of success. Work with all your might; but trust
not in the least in your work. Pray with all your might for the
blessing of God; but work, at the same time, with all diligence, with
all patience, with all perseverance. Pray then, and work. Work and
pray. And still again pray, and then work. And so on all the days of
your life. The result will surely be, abundant blessing. Whether you
see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of service will be
blessed... Speak also for the Lord, as if everything depended on your
exertions; yet trust not the least in your exertions, but in the
Lord, who alone can cause your efforts to be made effectual, to the
benefit of your fellow men or fellow believers. Remember, also, that
God delights to bestow blessing, but, generally, as the result of
earnest, believing prayer." - George Muller
We
live in a culture in which everyone seeks success. Here Mr. Muller
tells us the secret to success, however this success is far from what
people seek today. People of our culture want fame, status, money and
power. This is not what we as Christians should seek, we should seek
to please our King and do His will while in continual prayer! Only in
doing this can we find true success and real blessing!
It
is not the treasures that we store up here on earth, but it is those
that we store in Heaven that are eternally valuable!
During
this week, remember to work for our God and to pray to our God and
pray and work!
As
always...keep thinking...
What an awesome reminder, Justin! :)
ReplyDeleteI love to work/serve. And that above is like my main reason why. Is so awesome to think that all I do here on earth is priceless and worthless compared to the Eternal Kingdom God has built for me to worship Him for ever and ever. :) That alone should make us all desire to Worship...Serve...Pray...and Work all the more.
George Muller had some wonderful things to say. :) He inspires me so much! In many more ways than this one. But I do love the way he worded this.
Thanks for sharing!
