“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” — 1 Corinthians 7:20
Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is most surely glorified in that cobbler’s stall, where the godly worker, as he plies the awl, sings of the Saviour’s love, ay, glorified far more than in many a prebendal stall where official religiousness performs its scanty duties. The name of Jesus is glorified by the…
poor unlearned carter as he
drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow labourer by
the roadside, as much as by the popular divine who, throughout the
country, like Boanerges, is thundering out the gospel. God is glorified by
our serving Him in our proper vocations. Take care, dear reader, that you
do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care
you do not dishonour your profession while in it. Think little of
yourselves, but do not think too little of your callings. Every lawful trade
may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and
you will find the most menial forms of labour connected either with most
daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious for
holiness. Therefore be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God
has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite
sure that he calls you to something else. Let your first care be to glorify
God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere
to His praise, and if He needs you in another He will show it you. This
evening lay aside vexatious ambition, and embrace peaceful content.
