No Room for Shirkers
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the
inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the
help of the Lord against the mighty. Judges 5:23.
Shall not this be the time when all who are in connection with God
shall come to the front and show their colors? Shall it be seen that men and
women step back and show no interest, no zeal, no earnest effort when help
is needed? When the car drags heavily, then is the time for everyone to
push, put shoulders to the wheels, and not stand back giving orders, or
accusing the ones who are trying to push the load, or criticizing everything
they do, because it is not done in their way and after their ideas. . . .
Let everyone do his level best to move the load with might and strength. . .
.
If the Lord should treat us as some who claim to be Christians treat
one another, we should have a sore, hard time. If He should look upon the
selfish, or crooked ones as they look upon one another and deal with one
another, what would become of us? But I am glad the Lord is not man. He
bears with our crooked ways, our selfishness, our separation from Him, our
defects of character, and seeks to inform us, sending message after message
of mercy, encouragement, warning, reproof, and correction, to bring us into
a right position before Him, that we may have His love, His care, His
blessing, abiding upon us. . . .
We have each a work to do for the Master. Will we do this work, will we
labor with unselfish, self-sacrificing interest to build up His cause, to
advance His work? I am determined to do the will of God, to make straight
paths for my feet, lest the lame be turned out of the way. There are
halting, lame ones enough. . . . God forbid that any of those who have had a
knowledge of, and an experience in, the workings of God should themselves be
halting, and need to be carried. Let them come up to help; let them become
spiritually strong by doing the will of our heavenly Father, and then they
can help the halting, lame ones. . . .
May we work intelligently, heartily, with decision and positiveness,
that we may be blessed and may bless others.
