Wanted, a Worker

God never goes to the lazy or the idle when he needs men for his service. When God wants a worker, he calls a worker. When he has work to be done, he goes to those who are already at work. When God wants a great servant, he calls a busy man. Scripture and history attest this truth.
Moses was busy with his flocks at Horeb.
Gideon was busy thrashing wheat by the wine-press.
Saul was busy searching for his father's lost beasts.
David was busy caring for his father's sheep.
Elisha was busy plowing with twelve yoke of oxen.
Nehemiah was busy bearing the king's wine-cup.
Amos was busy following the flock.
Peter and Andrew were busy casting a net into the sea.
James and John were busy mending their nets.
Matthew was busy collecting customs.
Saul was busy persecuting the friends of Jesus.
William Carey was busy mending and making shoes.—Selected.
