'We must do our little nothings
We must do our little nothings for His glory
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do — do it all for the glory of God!" 1 Corinthians 10:31
The moralist does right things — but without any reference to Christ, not confessing Him or loving Him. The Christian does the same things — but does them because the Master wants him to do them.
As one has beautifully said, "What we can do for God is little or nothing — but we must do our little nothings for His glory ." This is the motive that, filling our hearts, makes even drudgery divine, because it is done for Christ. It may be but . . .
to sweep a room,
or rock an infant to sleep,
or teach a ragged child,
or mend a shirt,
or plane a board;
— but, if it is done as unto the Lord, it will be owned and accepted by Him.
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward!" Matthew 10:42
