Reâ€" ward is for the "good and faithful serâ€" vant" (Matt, 25, 21). We are "created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Eph. 2, 10). ‘The Bible is our guide for good works (II. Tim. 3, 16, 17). Good works glorify God (Matt. 5, 16; I. Pet. 2, 12). Good works are the adornment of woâ€" men (I. Tim. 2, 10}). Those who have wealth are charged to be rich in good works (I. Tim. 6, 18). We are to be a "pattern of good works" (Titus 2, 7, 14).

Living administration of one‘s own alms makes it go as far again in blessing. The gifts from her hand were the overflow g’om her heart. It was her chief delight to be like her Lord, who went about doing good (Acts 10, 38). Dorcas had the "faith which workâ€" eth by love" (Gal. 5, 6). Faith without love is barren (I. Cor. 13, 3). Blessed is he that considereth the poor (Psa. 41, 1). Jesus said, "When thou doest alms," ;ot "When thou givest alms" (Matt. 6, ). IV. Doreas‘ industry. "The coats and garments which Doreas made" (v. 39). Doreas did what she could. She used what she had . What hast thou? A rod (Exod. 4, 2). Use it and it shall become the rod of God, for terror to some and blessing to others (Exod. 4, 17, 20; 17, Can‘t Get Government Funds to Pay His Fare Home.
