Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
1 Corinthians 7:20
"SOME persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which
Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness;
God is most surely glorified in that cobbler's stall.
The name of Jesus is glorified by the poor unlearned carter as he drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow laborer by the roadside, as much as by the popular divine who, throughout the country, like Boanerges, is thundering out the gospel.
God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations.
Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonor your profession while in it.
*Think little of yourselves,
*but do not think too little of your callings.
Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labor connected either with most daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious for holiness. Therefore be not discontented with your calling."
Charles Spurgeon
