The Young People’s Class Work
We noticed last month in our questions that God would not have us to be idle. He has appointed work as His gracious provision in a world of temptation.
But a young man, in choosing the line of work he should follow, ought to seek guidance from the Lord. Primarily, of course, the woman’s sphere of work is in the home (Titus 2:4, 54That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:4‑5)), but if, of neceity, it must be otherwise, she too should be much before the Lord. We ought all to be occupied in some way, but we are never to follow our own wills in this, nor in anything we do, for God’s Word says, “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and. He shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:66In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:6).
It is good to know that we can do all our work (in any calling where we can abide with God), as unto the Lord. But there is also a special call to the Lord’s service, and in this we must be directed of the Lord, for there is a service for every child of God under the authority of the One who said, “Occupy till I come.” Often we are very diligent in our daily toil, even to the point of overwork, but, alas, how lax in the Lord’s work. Great and pressing needs are around us on every hand, among the Lord’s people and the unsaved, yet so little exercise to say, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” May we all be stirred up to the willing spirit of Him who said, “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” He has a place for you and me in His vineyard today!
