‘….to go on quietly working….’ St Paul

"Isn’t it remarkable that our bodies just work internally all the time – digesting, cleaning, transforming, rebuilding and that our breathing is the main link between our inner and outer lives and that our skin enclosed us and also opens out to our surroundings and that our hearing takes sound waves, changes them into fluid waves and then into electrical impulses.

Paul today talks about going on quietly working. Well, our bodies do just that.
If I can work from the Light in myself – keeping myself centered in my being while working – then I feel truly happy. I am not attached to the outcome and know I have given my best and this applies to all work.
Too often I am looking for results, recognition, praise, honour and payment. Too often I do nothing because I feel I am unable or I won’t take a chance and have a go.

Everything in the universe is full of and moves in Divine Intelligence and it goes on quietly working. Know you are part of this and do your work with this awareness. The Divine Intelligence works quietly in the body but I need to let it work quietly in my actions also.
Nothing would be done at all if a person waited till he could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
