Be Ready To Do Every Good Work

December 28.

Now the God of peace make you perfect in every good work,
to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing
in His sight, through Jesus Christ.

HEBREWS 13, verses 20, 21.


Be ready to every good work.

TITUS 3, verse 1.


So, firm in steadfast hope, in thought secure,
In full accord to all Thy world of joy,
May I be nerved to labors high and pure,
And Thou Thy child to do Thy work employ.

J. STERLING.


Be with God in thy outward works,
refer them to Him, offer them to Him,
seek to do them in Him and for Him,
and He will be with thee in them,
and they shall not hinder, but rather invite
His presence in thy soul.
Seek to see Him in all things,
and in all things
He will come nigh to thee.

E. B. PUSEY.


Nothing less than the majesty of God, and the powers
of the world to come, can maintain the peace and
sanctity of our homes, the order and serenity of
our minds, the spirit of patience and tender mercy
in our hearts. Then will even the merest drudgery
of duty cease to humble us, when we transfigure it by
the glory of our own spirit.
