Let us Praised the Lord

"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 to God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from 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 cobblers stall, where the godly worker, as he likes the awl, sings if the Savior's love, aye glorified far more than in many a prebendal stall where official religiousness performs it's scanty duties. The name of Jesus is glorify by the poor unlearned cater 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 dishonor your profession while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of yourselves. But for not think too little of calling. Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the mist menial forms of labour connected either with mist daring deeds of faith, or with person 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 to you. To God be the glory.
