In Serving God We Should Never Design Our Work.

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. John 2.5.

What matters most to a servant of Christ is to know what God wants him to do, and at what time and by what means. One who serves the Lord has absolutely no need to design his work. One of the characteristics of the New Covenant is that everyone may know God’s will.

A servant of Christ may receive in his spirit the revelation of the Holy Spirit, thus discerning clearly what God requires of him. Such knowledge is real; it comes neither from his imagination nor from the encouragement or direction of other people. It is based on the teaching of the letter of the Bible and revealed as God’s command in the deepest retreat of his being by the Holy Spirit who dwells in his spirit.
