C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the necessity for Christians to fully engage in the work of the Lord, urging believers to dedicate their entire being—body, soul, and spirit—to serving God in their daily lives. He stresses that one can glorify God without abandoning secular responsibilities, as these can serve as platforms for ministry. Spurgeon warns against complacency, encouraging Christians to be alert and proactive in their faith, stating that true service requires earnest effort and commitment. He calls for a deeper dedication to the work of Christ, reminding that if a task is worth doing, it is worth doing to the best of one's ability and continually striving for improvement. Ultimately, Spurgeon challenges believers to take action and work diligently for the Lord.

David Wilkerson emphasizes that God does not promise a life free from suffering or worldly security, but instead offers peace and assurance for our souls. He reminds believers that despite the foreboding future, we need not fear because God is in control and knows the appointed time of Christ's return. Wilkerson encourages Christians to remain diligent in their work for God, living as if Christ could return at any moment, and to embody the spirit of planting seeds of faith and good works. He cites D.L. Moody's response about planting a tree as a metaphor for being proactive in our faith. Ultimately, he reassures us that God is attentive to our needs and fears, urging us to trust in His provision.
