Knee Power for the Daily Job

Monday. Luke 6: 12-16.

He picked them out on his knees. Slowly, thoughtfully, through the night, he sifted back and forth, taking account of weaknesses and drawbacks, till at last the list of twelve men stood clear. A great night’s work, that, getting fishermen ready to be apostles. No wonder Peter came back, and John’s fire burned out in love. That night’s knee work did it. Nothing human can resist quiet, steady, confident knee work. Try it on your daily job.
