Cumberland said, “Better to wear out than to rust out.”
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Ephesians 4:28
Paul challenges the church at Ephesus to serve the Lord daily in their Christian walk; to put off the old man, to speak truth, to hate sin, to not give place the devil, then I see in verse 28 a help to do it all—“but rather let him labour”. When we work for the Lord with the right heart attitude it’s hard to be doing the things we shouldn’t.
So on this Saturday morning get up and do something for the Lord! Go visit some shut-ins. Go visit someone in the hospital. Go help an elderly person around their house. Go on visitation with your pastor. Go invite someone to church tomorrow! Never quit, don't rust out because you're not doing anything, just wear out for the Lord!
