If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.
The harvest here is indeed great, and the laborers are few and imperfectly fitted, without much grace, for such a work. And yet grace can make a few feeble instruments the means of accomplishing great things – things greater even than we can conceive.
We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth. We tell people the world is vain; let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above and that all these things are transitory. Does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!
Depend on it. God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.

The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.
Let us see that we keep God before our eyes; that we walk in His ways and seek to please and glorify Him in everything, great and small. Depend upon it, God’s work, done in God’s way, will never lack God’s supplies.
All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.
As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far mar precious than exemption from the trial.
If in the sight of God you cannot say you are sure that you have a special call to stay at home, why are you disobeying the Saviour’s plain command to go?
Would that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest; Heaven so real that we must have men there.
Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.
I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
But how to get faith strengthened? Not by striving after faith, but by resting on the Faithful One.
