1 Kings 19:19

" Found Elisha … ploughing ." God never calls an idle man. "If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" ( Luke 16:11 .) The man who will not plough by reason of the cold ( Proverbs 20:4 ), if he put his hand to the gospel plough, will presently look back ( Luke 9:62 ), and go not to the work ( Acts 15:38 ). The apostles were called from their ships, their nets, the receipt of custom, etc; none from the market place or the street corners. They only exchanged one department of God's work for another, for "the man who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is a fellow worker with God. " Laborare est orate ."An honest calling in the world does not at all put us out of the way of our heavenly calling." "In all labour is profit."
