Medical Ministry
Let them read the word of the Lord, in order that they may have
the wisdom that is unto salvation. The richest treasures are to be
found by searching for them in the word. Some minds will be so
impressed to seek these hidden treasures as to sell all that they have
in order to buy the field and come into possession of the priceless
[204]
jewels of truth. Ofttimes the most lowly are in possession of the
hidden treasure which they may impart to others.
The truths of the word of God, applied to the heart and carried
out with humility in the daily life practice, will make Christians
strong in the strength of Jehovah and happy in His peace. Christian
kindness and earnest consecration are constantly to be manifest in
the life. We are not always engaged in special duties connected with
sacred service; but the common, daily round of duties may be done
in His spirit, and such labor will commend itself to every man, even
to the unconverted who know not the doctrine. We may let our light
so shine in good works that the truth which we cherish shall be, to
unbelievers, spirit and life.—
Letter 140, 1906

Imitate God’s Perfect Ways
Build for eternity. Christ’s lessons are before us. We are to do
carefully, neatly, and with exactitude whatever is to be done. We
are to study economy in every line of work. Builders, gather up the
fragments. Let nothing be lost. In all that there is to be done, in
planting and building, imitate God’s perfect ways.
Nurses and physicians, think of Jesus. How careful He was of
the remnants of food left after feeding the five thousand! By His
thoughtful care He would teach us order and economy. The great
work of redemption weighed constantly upon His soul. As He was
teaching and healing, all the energies of body and soul were taxed
to the utmost, yet He noticed the most simple things in human life
and in nature. His most instructive lessons were those in which He
illustrated the kingdom of God by the simple things of nature. He
did not overlook the needs of the humblest of His servants. His ear
heard every needy cry. He was awake to the touch of the afflicted
woman in the crowd. His divine nature, combined with the human,
was so finely wrought that the least touch of faith brought a response.
