So what if the US recession and the India slowdown means lower increments and no bonuses....Could pleasing God be a motive for work? Check out what Martin Luther had to say
“The works of monks and priests, however holy they be do not differ one whit in the sight of God from the works of the rustic labourer in the field or the woman going about her household tasks. But all work is measured before God by faith alone…….”
Martin Luther

Thanks friends for your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite lines in a WH Auden poem goes something like this: "and maculate cities are saved by the prayers of illiterate saints" (I have tried to find the poem recently but failed).
Our situation in life (which so many of us put such high value on) is less important than our faithfulness in doing what we do - and doing it as unto God.
One of my heroes in the Bible is the unknown servant girl - whose word was so powerful that the leader of the Assyrian Army gets permission from his King to go to Israel to get a cure for his leprosy from an obscure prophet. Imagine this young girls integrity of work and worship to be able to set into motion such an amazing journey!
Blessings to you and may your on-going journey be an inspiration for many more journeys!
