Daily Strength for Daily Needs

Devotional: January 24th

"I will bless the Lord, who bath given me counsel." -- 16:7."Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." -- ROM. xii.11.Mine be the reverent, listening love That waits all day on Thee, With the service of a watchful heart Which no one else can see.A. L. WARING.Nothing is small or great in God’s sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however seemingly trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance. On the other hand, whatever He would not have us do, however important we may think it, is as nought to us.How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring? Be sure that if you do your very best in that which is laid upon you daily, you will not be left without sufficient help when some weightier occasion arises. Give yourself to Him, trust Him, fix your eye upon Him, listen to His voice, and then go on bravely and cheerfully.JEAN NICOLAS GROU.
