Heaven
In View
"The
traveler does not think of his journey's end every step of
the way, but he does have it in mind sufficient to not
turn aside out of the way. In all your ways of life keep
God in mind. Attend to this with all diligence. Let God be
the end you have in view in all your actions. Let me give
you a few daily rules to walk by: First, never lie down to
your night's sleep without thinking that you are not doing
this for your own comfort, but that a servant of God may
be refreshed and better fitted for the work God has given
him to do. Second, never rise up without the thoughts, 'I
arise in the name of the Lord to do all this day that will
please Him most.' Third, never set about your daily work
without the thought that I am doing this not as my
appointed work, but as the work God has appointed and I do
it out of love to Him. Fourth, never sit down at your
table without thinking, 'I will now eat and drink, not to
merely feed my flesh, but to nourish a servant of Christ
that he may have strength for God's service.' Examine
yourself in the evening to see if you have kept these
things in mind. Do better tomorrow than you did today.
When you get to doing all things with heaven in view and
doing all things for God s sake, you are then enjoying a
walk through life with God.
