He Permits Us to Labor With Him

 While we strive to be diligent in building up Zion, including our part in the gathering of the Lord’s elect and the redemption of the dead, we should pause to remember that it is the Lord’s work and He is doing it. He is the Lord of the vineyard, and we are His servants. He bids us labor in the vineyard with our might this “last time,” and He labors with us.It would probably be more accurate to say He permits us to labor with Him. As Paul said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. It is He who is hastening His work in its time. Employing our admittedly imperfect efforts-our "small means" --the Lord brings about great things.
