As God’s people labor earnestly, humbly, self-sacrificingly, they will gain the rich reward of which Job speaks: “When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; ... the blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.... I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.” Job 29:11-16. {7T 238.1}

Når Guds folk arbejder alvorligt, ydmygt og selvopofrende, vil de få den rige belønning som Job taler om: »Øret hørte og priste mig lykkelig, ...... den, det gik skævt, velsignede mig, jeg frydede enkens hjerte; ..... jeg var de fattiges fader, udreded den mig ukendtes sag.« Job 29, 11-16.
