Often, the greatest obstacle to doing God’s work is the workers themselves. Workers focus so much on the work itself that they lose sight of the divine purpose. Our service should spring naturally from understanding God’s will, which is the foundation of our work.

"LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days." It is only when we look at the end of our days that we understand how to best use today. It is healthy to ponder about death so that we know how to best live.
