Jesus knew how to rest as well as how to work. Though there was constant haste in His life, there was no hurry; though there was much pressure, there was no confusion. Nothing was more conspicuous in Him than His unvarying dignity, calmness and self-possession.
Work
John Polkinghorne
Hope is much more than a mood. It involves a committment to action… What we hope for should be what we are prepared to work for and do bring about as far as that power lies in us.
Albert E. Cliffe
We get new ideas from God every hour of our day when we put our trust in Him – but we have to follow that inspiration up with perspiration – we have to work to prove our faith. Remember that the bee that hangs around the hive never gets any honey.
Elizabeth Prentiss
If you could once make up your mind in the fear of God never to undertake more work of any sort than you can carry on calmly, quietly, without hurry or flurry, and the instant you feel yourself growing nervous, like one out of breath would stop and take breath, you would find this simple common sense rule doing for you what no prayers or tears could ever accomplish.
Clement
A good workman can accept the reward of his labor with assurance, but one who is idle and shiftless cannot look his employer in the face. That is why we must devote ourselves heart and soul to the task of well-doing, for everything comes from the hand of God and He has already warned us, “See the Lord is approaching, with his reward before him, to pay every man as his work deserves.
G. Campbell Morgan
To me the second coming is the perpetual light in the path which makes the present bearable. I never lay my head on my pillow without thinking that: maybe before the morning breaks the final morning may have dawned. I never begin my work without thinking perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin his own.
John Owen
Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
Amy Carmichael
If my interest in the work of others is cool; if I think in terms of my own special work; if the burdens of others are not my burdens too, and their joys mine, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
James Hudson Taylor
I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.
Oswald Chambers
Worshipping God is the great essential of fitness. If you have not been worshipping…when you get to work you will not only be useless yourself, but a tremendous hindrance to those who are associated with you.
