'It is all for God's eye

It is all for God's eye

"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men" Ephesians 6:7

All work is for God, in a certain sense. We do our business for Him. We keep house for him.

We drive the team of horses, or run the engine, or keep the books, or sell the goods, or carry the mail, or sew the seams, or build the house — for Him. Hence we must do honest and good work always, whatever our occupation. It is all for God's eye .

Yet it is true that besides what we call our week-day work, all of us have special work to do for God — our "Father's business."

We are in this world for Christ. Part of our duty, in addition to our secular affairs — is to do good in the ways that our divine Master may indicate, to perform the tasks of love and service which He may allot to us.

All of our busy days, for example, we are to be gentle, kindly, patient, and Christly — to everyone whose life touches ours. In the heaviest pressure of our task-work, we must never fail to do the kindness that we are called to do.

We must never be too much occupied in this world's affairs, to do the part of the good Samaritan, if by our path we find a wounded brother. We must get into every one of our days, some work for Christ.

We all remember the story of the king who counted that day lost, in which some other life had not been made happier by him.

That day is lost in a Christian's life, which has no record of blessing to the world, and glory to God. 

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
