The plodders

"Whatever your hand finds to do — do it with all your might!" Ecclesiastes 9:10

The most useful people in any community, are the plodders who make choice of one class of work, and devote themselves to it year after year. It is better for most of us, that we devote ourselves to the helping and uplifting of a few people — than that we scatter our influence over hundreds.

Then we can make impressions on their lives that will last forever. Jesus gave His whole public life to twelve men — but He so stamped His impress on their lives that they went out and moved the world.

"Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach" Mark 3:14
