Ultimate Purpose Remember your ultimate purpose, and when you set yourself to your day's work or approach any activity in the world, let holiness to the Lord be written upon your hearts in all that you do. Do no activity which you cannot entitle God to, and truly say that he set you about it, and do nothing in the world for any other ultimate purpose than to please, glorify and enjoy Him. Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Diligence in Your Calling Follow the tasks of your calling carefully and diligently. You may have more time to spend in holy duties if you follow your occupation diligently.
Idle persons have no time for praying and reading because they lose time by loitering at their work.
You may expect God's blessing and comfortable provision for both yourself and your families. Temptations and Things That Corrupt Be thoroughly acquainted with your temptations and the things that may corrupt you - and watch against them all day long. You should watch especially the most dangerous of the things that corrupt, and those temptations that either your company or business will unavoidably lay before you. Take care against being drawn into earthly mindedness and excessive cares, or covetous designs for rising in the world, under the pretence of diligence in your calling. If you are to trade or deal with others, be vigilant against selfishness and all that smacks of injustice or uncharitableness.
