483 Follow God’s Way in All Things Great and Small
I
In order to follow God’s way,
we cannot let go of anything
that happens either to us or around us, even the little things;
whether we think we should pay attention to it or not,
as long as any matter is facing us,
we must not let it go, we must not let it go.
All things that happen should be viewed as tests God has given us.
If you have this kind of attitude, then it confirms one fact:
Deep down, you fear God and are willing to shun evil.
If you have this desire to satisfy God,
then what you put into practice
will not be far off meeting the standard of fearing God and shunning evil.
II
What is a major matter? What is a minor matter?
The matters that involve following God’s way
are not divided between major or minor ones.
There are often those who believe
matters people do not pay much attention to
and do not usually mention are but minor trifles
that have nothing to do with putting the truth into practice.
When faced with just such an issue,
these people do not give it much thought, and then they let it slide.
In actual fact, this matter
was a lesson you should study—
a lesson on how to fear God and how to shun evil.
Moreover, what you should be even more concerned with
is knowing what God is doing when this matter arises to face you.
God is right by your side, God is right by your side,
observing your every word and action, your every word and action,
and watching everything you do and what changes take place in your thoughts—
this is God’s work, this is God’s work.
