Acorn Build Up: Work and Faith

Work and Faith - by William Barclay

1Thessalonians 1:3
We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith...

Nothing tells us more about a man than the way in which he works. He may work in fear of the whip; he may work for hope of gain; he may work from a grim sense of duty; or he may work inspired by faith. His faith is that this is his task given him by God and that he is working in the last analysis not for men but for God. Someone has said that the sign of true consecration is when a man can find glory in drudgery.

Excerpt from "The Daily Study Bible", by William Barclay
