The Workers. It is not the most brilliant or the most talented whose
work produces the greatest and most lasting results. Who are the most
efficient laborers? Those who will respond to the invitation: “Take My
yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.”
If men to whom God has entrusted talents of intellect refuse to
use these gifts to His glory, after test and trial He will leave them to
their own imaginings and will take men who do not appear to be so
richly endowed, who have not large self-confidence, and He will make
[444]
the weak strong because they trust in God to do for them those things
which they cannot do for themselves. God will accept the wholehearted
service, and will Himself make up the deficiencies.

The Lord Jesus takes those whom He finds will be molded, and
uses them for His name’s glory, to meet His own spiritual conception.
He uses material that others would pass by, and works all who will
be worked. Through very simple means a door is opened in heaven,
and the simplicity of the human agent is used by God to reveal God to
man.

Have you tasted of the powers of the world to come? Have you
been eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God? Then,
although ministerial hands may not have been laid upon you in ordi-
nation, Christ has laid His hands upon you and has said: “Ye are My
witnesses.”

Those whom God employs as His instruments may be regarded by
some as inefficient; but if they can pray, if in simplicity they can talk the
truth because they love it, they may reach the people through the Holy
Spirit’s power. As they present the truth in simplicity, reading from
the word or recalling incidents of experience, the Holy Spirit makes
an impression on mind and character. The will becomes subordinate
to the will of God; the truth heretofore not understood comes to the
heart with living conviction and becomes a spiritual reality.
