March 6 Amid A Crowd Of Paltry Things
¡§. . . in much patience, in afflictions, in
necessities, in distresses.¡¨ 2 Corinthians 6:4
It takes Almighty
grace to take the next step when there is no vision and no spectator ¡V the next
step in devotion, the next step in your study, in your reading, in your
kitchen; the next step in your duty, when there is no vision from God, no
enthusiasm and no spectator. It takes far more of the grace of God, far more
conscious drawing upon God to take that step, than it does to preach the Gospel.
Every Christian
has to partake of what was the essence of the Incarnation, he must bring the
thing down into flesh and blood actualities and work it out through the finger
tips. We flag when there is no vision, no uplift, but just the common round,
the trivial task. The thing that tells in the long run for God and for men is the
steady persevering work in the unseen, and the only way to keep the life
uncrushed is to live looking to God. Ask God to keep the eyes of your spirit
open to the Risen Christ, and it will be impossible for drudgery to damp you.
Continually get away from pettiness and paltriness of mind and thought out into
the thirteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel.
