29 Conclusion: What now? What of Tomorrow?Today, ministry is Restricted – two Reasons: Age and Ailing sister-in-law. Should I Step out? – “Retire?” The question to the Lord on 16th October: And the Lord’s Reply: (from Daily Light) October 16 MORNING Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. - Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. - Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. - Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? - The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. - We desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end; that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises. - So run, that ye may obtain.
