Walk Worthy of the Lord

November 11.

Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work, and
increasing in the knowledge of God;
strengthened with all might, according
to His glorious power, unto all patience
and longsuffering with joyfulness.

1 COLOSSIANS 10, verse 2.


To be the thing we seem,
To do the thing we deem
Enjoined by duty;
To walk in faith, nor dream
Of questioning God's scheme
Of truth and beauty.

To shape the whole Future is not our
problem; but only to shape faithfullya
small part of it, according to rules
already known. It is perhaps possible
for each of us, who will
with due earnestness inquire, to
ascertain clearly what he, for his own
part, ought to do; this let him, with
true heart, do, and continue doing.
The general issue will, as it has always
done, rest well with a Higher Intelligence
than ours. This day thou knowest ten
commanded duties, seest in thy
mind ten things which should bedone for
one that thou doest! Do one of
them; this of itself will show thee
ten others which can and shall be done.
