Do All to the Glory of God
It is both honorable and profitable to do solid, honest work. This is true of temporal as well as spiritual work. If a boy's business is to black boots, let him do it well. If a girl's business is to wash dishes, let her wash them clean and not break them. If the work of a moment is to sing a spiritual song, let it be done heartily; if to speak a word of counsel or warning, let it be spoken bravely and lovingly. We shall not do everything right until we do it "as unto the Lord." Who would dare to slight his work, or to act from unworthy motives, under a clear sense of the divine inspection? Dear readers, never lose sight of this great truth: "Thou God seest me." "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."—Evangelical Messenger.
