Is it the same motive, beloved brother or sister in Christ, that makes you seek a place for your son or daughter, or prefer a situation in yonder splendid establishment, to the more humble place of a servant in some godly Christian family, whose daily life is on the principle, that "godliness with contentment is great gain?" I would earnestly and affectionately ask you, to "ponder the path of thy feet," remembering, that "the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings." But not only does he ponder our goings. Our natural hearts are deceitful above all things. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the LORD pondereth the hearts."
