Thus our business or calling is a part of God's great plan, and, so long as it is conducted in accordance with His will, He Himself is responsible for the results. "Laborers together with God" (1 Corinthians 3:9), our part is faithful compliance with His directions. Thus there is no place for anxious care. Diligence, fidelity, caretaking, thrift, and discretion are called for. Every faculty is to be exercised to its highest capacity. But the dependence will be, not on the successful outcome of our efforts, but on the promise of God. The word that fed Israel in the desert, and sustained Elijah through the time of famine, has the same power today. "Be not therefore anxious (R.V.), saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? . . . Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:31-33.

Således er vor gerning eller vort kald en del af Guds store plan, og så længe det udføres i overensstemmelse med hans vilje, er han selv ansvarlig for, at det lykkes. Som Guds medarbejdere (1Kor. 3,9) består vor andel i trofast at følge hans anvisninger. På denne måde bliver der ikke plads for ængstelig bekymring. Flid, troskab, omhu, sparsommelighed og takt er, hvad der kræves. Enhver evne skal opøves til sin højeste ydeevne. Men det afhænger ikke af, hvor godt vore bestræbelser lykkes, men af Guds løfter. Det ord, som mættede Israel i ørkenen og sørgede for Elias i hungersnødens tid, har i dag den samme kraft.»Derfor må I ikke være bekymrede og sige: Hvad skal vi spise? eller: Hvad skal vi drikke? ..... Men søg først Guds rige og hans retfærdighed, så skal alt det andet gives jer i tilgift.« Matt. 6,31-33.
