David Jeremiah Daily Devotional | April 8, 2022 MESSAGE

In The Normal Christian Worker, Watchman Nee lists various qualifications for the servants of Christ. He begins with diligence. “It seems superfluous to say so,” wrote Nee, “but it is in fact essential…that a Christian worker must be a person who will work.” He continued, “A person who regards everything as a burden cannot be a faithful servant of the Lord.”

Diligence is not an invitation to busyness, but a way of seeking daily what the Lord wants us to do. He gives us new opportunities to serve Him every day. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits.” One of those benefits is meaningfulness—a set of purposes and assignments for each day.

The Early Church functioned seven days a week: “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart” (Acts 2:46). What does God want you to do today? Do it with gladness and simplicity!

Every faithful servant of Christ buys up the moments, and even when he is not outwardly engaged he is inwardly active, waiting on the Lord in real heart-exercise.
Watchman Nee
