February 9th.
"Brother Lawrence committed mind and soul to unbroken communion with God, continuously occupied with praising, worshiping, and loving Him. How could he pull that off moment by moment in a busy kitchen or while traveling?
He persevered in training himself to do EVERYthing in the kitchen or on the road, for the love of God.
He prayed at every juncture for God's grace to do the work.
He gave no thought to death or his sins, but only to doing small things for the love of God. Great things, he said, he was unable to do.
He realized God was intimately present withing him and so he constantly asked for His help.
He was alert to recognize God's will in "all things doubtful."
When he saw what God required, he did his very best.
He offered what he was doing to God.
After doing it, he gave THANKS to God.
He said, "There is not in the world a way of life more sweet, nor more delightful than continual converse with God. Only those who practice and savor it can understand."
Read Colossians 4:2.
