Working for God by Andrew Murray. Chapter one, waiting and working, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Neither have I seen a guard beside the Which worker for him that waited for him, Isaiah 40 verse 51 and 64 verse four. Here we have two texts, in which the connection between writing and working is made clear. In the first we see that waiting brings the needed strength for working, that it fits for joyful and unwary work. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on eagle swings, they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Waiting on God has its value in this. It makes a strong in work for God. The second reveals the secret of the strength God worker for him that waited for him. The waiting on God secures the working of God for us and in us out of which our work must spring. The two passages teaches the great lesson that as waiting on God lies at the root of all true. Working for God. So working for God must be the fruit of all true. Waiting on him. Our great need is to hold the two sides of the truth in perfect conjunction and harmony. There are some who say they wait upon God, but they do not work for him for this. There might be various reasons. Here is one who confounds to waiting on God and the devotion to him, of the energy of the whole being with the slothful, helpless waiting. That excuses itself from all work until God, by some special impulse as might work easy. Here is another who waits on God more truly regarding it as one of the highest exercises of the christian life and yet has never understood that at the root of all true waiting, there must lie the surrender and the readiness to be holy fitted for God's use in the service of man. And there is still another who is ready to work as well as weight. But he's looking for some great inflow of the spirits power to enable him to do mighty works while he forgets that as a believer, he already has the spirit of christ dwelling in him that more grace is only given to those who are faithful in the little, and that it is only in working, that we can be taught by the Holy Spirit how to do greater work.
