John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. Oh! I could not do much, says one. Then do what you can. No one flower makes a garden, but altogether the fair blossoms of spring create a paradise of beauty. Let all the Lord's flowers contribute in their proportion to the beauty of the garden of the Lord. "But I am so unused to it." Then, my brother, that is a very powerful reason why you should do twice as much, so as to make up for your past idleness. "Oh! but I am afraid nothing would come of it." What has that to do with you? God has promised a blessing, and if the blessing should not come in your day, yet, if you have done what the Master bade you, you will not be blamed for want of success. "Sir," asks another, "will you give me some work to do?" "No, I will not; for if you are good for anything, you will find it for yourself." (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. |
