Hidden In God's Ranks
Here's a great thought today from the classic devotionalist L. B. Cowman. May you be encouraged by it.
"The polyps which construct the coral reefs work away under water, never dreaming that they are building the foundation of a new island on which, by-and-by, plants and animals will live and children of God be born and fitted for eternal glory as joint heirs of Christ.
If your place in God's ranks is a hidden and secluded one, beloved, do not murmur, do not complain, do not seek to get out of God's will, if He has placed you there; for without polyps the coral reefs would never be built, and God needs some who are willing to be spiritual polyps, and work away out of sight of men, but sustained by the Holy Ghost and in full view of heaven."
God sees you even, if no one else ever does.
