THF WORK Oh THE LORD
There is much work to bo done
in the service of God, hut all
ate not eligible to work for Him.
Before He can use us we must
learn that we need Him. This
is why Eph. 2:8-10 declares that
salvation is “Not Os Works”
but “Unto Good Works.•» Salva
tion was wrought by Christ a
lone, at Calvary, and we must
accept it as the gift of His love.
Rom, 6:23 says: “The gift of
God is eternal life, through
Jesus Christ our Lord.'* Eph.
2:8 says; “It is the gift ofGod.”
and we should all accept this
gift by faith an say with St.
Paul: “Thanks be unto God for
His unspeakable gift” (n Cor
9:15).
God wants us to work for Him,
not to gain His favor, but out
of gratitude. Thus only after we
have accepted salvation as His
gift to us can He use us in His
service—and their He will give
us plenty to do,
lit. 3:8 says that “Thosewho
have believed should be care
ful to maintain good works”

But God would also have His
people to be “Fruitful in every

warning us that one day He will
“try every man’s work, of what
sort it is,*’ whether “gold,
silver and precious stones” or

MEDITATION
A SERMONET'I t
RV COLIN DOUGLAS
“Goa gave us not a spirit of
fearfulness, but of power and
love and discipline..,l am per
suaded that He is able to guard
that which I have committed un
to Him.” Timothy II 1:7,12.
When we are constantly in
fear of change, and struggle a
gainst it, we are standing in the
way of our own success. We need
continually to broaden the hori
zons of our lives and to enrich
our knowledge of God and of
ourselves. Experiences that
challenge our capacities help us
to grow. It is the one who reaches
out to meet life who becomes a
ware of the greatness of the re
sources he has within him.
When you '.rave to meet change
of some kind, remember that in
meeting it vou will be gaining.
Remember, too, that God has
created every person capable of
meeting the demands upon him
and, because of this, no demand
can bo made upon you that is
beyond your ability to handle in
such away as to profit spiritu
ally.
Do not fear change or strug
gle against it. Worry and fret
fulness are never the solutions
to any problem. Meet life with
the knowledge that it has some
thing of value for you. Meet
each experience with the knowl
edge that you are growing spirit
ually. Meet each problem with
the knowledge, that it is bless -
ing you in some way- -blessing
you with increased knowledge,
increased strength, increased
faith In the love, wisdom and
power of God.
Place yourself and all your
affairs lovingly in the care and
keeping of your Father, and keep
your faith centered In Him. Know
that His wisdom is greater than
human love, that His power Is
mightier than the might of man.
Go forward with |oy and faith
in the experiences that make up
your life. Know that you live in
God, and God lives in you.
“1 behold the Lord always
before my face.” Acts 2:25,
