Carlos A. Borja Flores: The complement of salvation, to which God has called us, is to serve in the work of preaching the gospel to a world that needs to change the wrong course it is on. As Father Spurgeon concludes, "May Your Holy Spirit make me a humble and patient worker and servant!"
What a beautiful reminder Carlos Borja Flores gives us about the importance of serving in the work of preaching the gospel, as Charles Spurgeon's devotional urges us to do. It is vital to remember that our service to the Lord Jesus is a blessing and an honor. As Proverbs 27:18 mentions, "He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who attends to his master will be honored." Like the faithful servant in Matthew 25:21, our faithful service will be rewarded. May the Holy Spirit guide us to be humble and patient workers in the Lord's work. Let us move forward with joy in this precious calling! God bless you, brother!
