A PAGE OF MISS BEALE’S SELF-EXAMINATION 1858.
Have I been always careful to return anything borrowed? | The ungodly borroweth and payeth not again.—Ps. xxxvii. 21. | Most of the forms of injustice come under the head of sins of the tongue; e.g., ascribing false motives, evil-speaking, &c. Cheapening, making bargains, is generally injustice. Also, delaying to pay what you owe—you may deceive yourself, so far as to think that you are only anxious to be economical, that you may have more to give away; but will it not be an insult to God to offer Him part of your unjust gain? It is much more charitable to pay justly, than to give; but there is not so much chance of praise. |
The spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye grind the faces of the poor.—Is. iii. 15. | ||
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbours’ service without wages, and giveth him not for his work.—Is. xvii. 13. | ||
I will be a swift witness against them that oppress the hireling in his wages.—Mal. iii. 5. | ||
Say not unto thy neighbour go, and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.—Prov. iii. 28. | ||
Have I indulged my body by idleness, not rising when I ought, taking unnecessary rest? Wasting time with unprofitable or idle talking, or reading? Allowing idle thoughts to run on unchecked? Refusing prompt and cheerful obedience because unwilling to give up some interesting occupation? | Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.—Eph. x. 9. Be not slothful in business.—Rom. xii. 11. Early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.—Ps. Rising a great while before day, He departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.—S. Matt. i. 35. | Do not leave yourself time to think about anything it is your duty to do. Idleness, by delaying, conquers; stop to parley and you have lost the day. It is a great help in getting up, or beginning any occupation, to have some signal, and then never allow yourself one second after. Be careful to make some fixed arrangement of your time, as far as possible; at any rate, put in as many landmarks as you can in the day; but do not praise yourself for your conscientious arrangement of your time, or you will find, in a few days, that you have become quite unpunctual. |
