The Most Thrilling Occupation in the World
E. Stanley Jones, The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person:
That kind of person [the believer] sees God, not in a vision, but sees God working with him and in him and backing him. He sees God at work everywhere. The universe becomes alive with God--every bush aflame with him, every event full of destiny, life an exciting adventure with God. You see him at work in you, in events, in the universe. He talks with you, guides you. You work in the same business, in the same occupation--the Kingdom. And it is the most thrilling, exciting, business and occupation in the world. All else is tame and inane--dull. Here you are working at the biggest job, on the biggest scale, at the most worthwhile task, at the greatest outcome--the kingdom of God on earth.
