Temptations continually
assail the Lord’s people suggestions to do some wonderful works in
His name, and thus to prove to themselves and to others that they
are heaven’s favorites. The lesson for us to learn is that the work
which the Father has given us to do is not the work of convincing
the world or of showing His favor toward us and our greatness in
Him, but rather that we should quietly and humbly, yet as
effectively as reason and propriety will permit, let our lights
shine, and show forth the praises of Him who hath called us from
darkness into His marvelous light, and from a desire to be
wonder-workers to the reasonable position of servants, ministers of
the Truth. |
