A Work for the Lord

Listen from:
Many of our young readers have, I am sure, a number of tracts, “Messages of the Love of God” and other Magazines which they long since have read, and which now were stored away in some drawer, or box done with— laid aside as a worn-out garment, work for the present is over. These “silent messengers” may not be valued by others who have not had the privilges which many of our readers enjoy.
Won’t you take these paper tracts out of their hiding place for the glory of the Lord, let oth know of the love of God to them through the work of the Lord Jesus on the cross for all lost ones, big or little.
There are so many opportunites distributing the precious Seed of the Word of God, hand some to your companions, school mates, hand them those on the streets with a pleasant, “Please accept this.”
For a very few cents you could send them out to relatives, and friends; and they may be sent to those you do know, whether from the Phone book or otherwise.
If the farmer does not sow seeds must not expect a harvest of grain, if we do not sow the precious seed of the Word of God, we will not reap a harvest of souls for the Lord, and His glory. If we sow the Seed of the Word we commit it to Him to bless it, to His own praise, but He will fully reward for faithfulness to Him making Him known to others.
We want ethers to know of the same precious Saviour we have, don’t we?
Wouldn’t you, when you are with Him in the Glory, like to have the Lord show you the dear ones who have been saved through the tracts and papers you have distributed for His sake? He will give you a rich reward too.
May this work be done with much prayer and dependence upon the Lord. You will be happy in it for Him.
“In the morning sow thy Seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” Eccles. 11:66In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. (Ecclesiastes 11:6).
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 15:5858Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58).
