Your Job Is Too Small

When the Standard Oil Company was looking for a representative in the Far East, they approached a missionary and offered him $10,000. He turned down the offer. They raised it to $25,000, and he turned it down again. They raised it to $50,000, and he rejected it once more.

"What's wrong?" they asked. He replied, "Your price is all right, but your job is too small." God had called him to be a missionary, and anything else was not worthy of his consideration. What should we be for Jesus Christ? .. . Nothing less than God's call is worthy of our consideration.

B.G.
