I found one of my earlier posts when I’m still a new believer and still struggling on which way to take. It was posted last September 19, 2010, I entitled it “MOMENT TO REFLECT”. It is actually an interesting write up about how we can be a fruitful follower of Christ. It is about:
“A WORTHY WORKMAN.” This Proverb of Solomon is sometimes stated another way: “If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing right!” As Christians we have to do our best before the Master will do His miracle. We must fill the water pots with water, or bring the five loaves and the two fishes, or let down the net. Only then will Christ transform that best into His better; change ‘water into wine,’ or turn the handful of seed into a rich harvest.” I read a story about a boy of 12 lives next door to a kind, elderly gentleman who worked as a carpenter with diligence and skilful precision. As the boy stood watching the elderly gentleman one day, the elderly gentleman turned to the boy and said, “Young man, perhaps you think I’m spending too much time on this project, but I learned long ago that speed should always be secondary to quality workmanship. Years from now when I’m gone and people inspect what I’m building today, no one will ask, “How long this project took him to finish? Instead, they’ll ask, “who made this?” The young boy never had forgotten those words. They reminded him many times that, as Christians, we of all people should always do our best in any endeavour. Since Christ is our Master, the quality of our work reflects both on our character and on our relationship t Him and with others. No matter what our task may be, we can leave a trace of imperishable beauty and worth on everything we accomplish. To do so, we must be industrious and dedicate ourselves completely to God. Today, “whatsoever your hand find to do, do it with all your might. Evangelist Daniel Kolenda wrote on one of his books “Live before you die” that we should use whatever is at hand in fulfilling Gods’ will in our life. He also mentioned that even God cannot move a parked car. We have to be working on to improve our Christian life. Jesus asked for water before He can actually turn it to wine. We need to start from somewhere and diligently work on it slowly. Remember God look on His worker not on the work. He is much interested on how we developed as a person in every task He has given us not on how fast or slow we finished it. He is more concern about us. |
