Life is filled with daily routines. Every now and then, God takes us to the mountaintop to experience His presence in a dramatic way. This is not the norm. It was not the norm for those in the Bible either. Moses spent 40 years in preparation. Paul spent a great deal of his life working toward the wrong purpose until a dramatic event changed his life. Jacob spent 20 years working for Laban.
生活充滿了例行活動。每到一段時間， 神就會帶我們到山頂上去，透過一個戲劇性的方式讓我們經歷祂的同在。這並非常規，不過聖經裡許多的人物也是如此經歷過的。摩西花了40年在預備；保羅在一個錯誤的目標上花費了許多的年日、直到戲劇性的遇見遇見 神生命改變；雅客也是為拉班工作了20年。
God uses work to develop character qualities that He plans to use at the appropriate time. In the small things we develop trustworthiness with God. The day-in and day-out grind of working life molds us and makes us into what God desires. God may still be preparing you for something far greater. For now, however, you are learning the daily lessons of small things. Pray that you will be faithful.
神透過工作來建造我們的品格，直到祂計畫中那個適當的時間來臨。在小事上我們與 神建立信任度。每天反反覆覆的工作生活習慣將朔造、培養出 神喜悅的品格。 神可能仍在預備我們承接更大的事。然而在現在，你要學習每天生活的小細節，祈禱你能保守對 神有信心。
