“We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.” (Page 63)
If God is the employer, and I am running my own business from His workplace, I will (a) feel guilty (b) feel ashamed and (c) feel frightened I’ll be caught and punished.
This explains the generalised sense of dis-ease all human beings have (whether they realise it or not).
It’s not alcoholism: it’s double-dealing.
We’ve been up to our own little plans and designs, whilst we’re supposed to be on duty for God.
