What traps the Christian worker?

Ponder these words from Oswald Chambers. If you want the full text, click here. Worldliness is not the trap that most endangers us as Christian workers; nor is it sin. The trap we fall into is extravagantly desiring spiritual success; that is, success measured by, and patterned after, the form set by this religious age in which we now live. Never seek after anything other than the approval of God….Jesus told the disciples not to rejoice in successful service, and yet this seems to be the one thing in which most of us do rejoice… Unless the worker lives a life that “is hiden with Christ in God”, he is apt to become an irritating dictator to others, instead of an anctive, living disciple. Many of us are dictators, dictating our desires to individuals and to groups.
