WHAT THINE HAND FINDETH TO DO
WHAT THINE HAND FINDETH TO DO
Have you been near enough to the Lord to have learned of Him the way He would have you to serve Him here. It is in the least things put into your hands that you may best learn His way if you truly seek it. It is not in looking [p. 242] out for some very great thing to do, but what “thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9: 10). The great thing is to do it heartily, “as unto the Lord”. Any one who serves me cheerfully I like to employ, and surely the Lord likes to employ those who take a pleasure in being employed by Him. Be what you are, doing what you can. If you are a lily, do not try to be a rose or a carnation, but to excel as a lily — glad if by your fragrance and modest bloom you suit the eye and hand of Him who has set you in the valley to grow there for Him.
