LABOURERS TOGETHER WITH GOD - I Corinthians 3:9

We must always beware of any work for God, which enables you to envade concentration on Him. "Thou wilt keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusted in Thee", Isaiah 26:3. Many Christians worship their works. We can miss the mark by busying ourselves going to seminars and many activities that may surround Christian activity, and naturally we consider this Christian work, or working for God. Activity or work that seems to drain us, we cannot count this as work of God. The work of God that is spirit led fills us, makes us to feel our souls satisfaction, even to the point of being overjoyed. Doing Gods work could be sometimes going aside and rest awhile, and let the Lord talk to us as He did His disciples. We have no right to judge what or where our work is to be. If we will only let Him, God is engineering everything to our good and His glory. Wherever He puts us it should be our wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work.

Working for God could be in our study of His word and our devotion to Him. We have an account in the bible of two sisters, one was very occupied in preparing for Jesus to come to their house, and the other only wanted to sit at His feet and hear Him. "But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, Lord, doest Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me." Jesus answered and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her", Luke 10: 40-42.
