Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in
which they can live for God or serve God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or
Bible men or women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of
magnifying the Most High if this were the case....
God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations.... Every lawful
trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. In the Bible, you will find the most menial forms of labour connected either with most daring
deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious for holiness.
Therefore be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite sure that he calls you to something else. Let your first care be to glorify God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere to His praise, and if He needs you in another He will show it to you.

Here are five ways to do all for
the glory of God:
- By being thankful in whatever you do.
- By understanding that the Lord is more important than whatever you do.
- By keeping others in mind in whatever you do.
- By being self-controlled and disciplined in whatever you do.
- By serving in the strength the Lord supplies.
