A helpful guide and inspiration to the high calling of our daily work is the writings of an eighteenth century churchman, William Law. In his writings, Law spelled out what it meant to live the Christian life during that time in England . In particular, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life* serves us today as guide for living a full life, devoted to God.
He, therefore, is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life parts of piety, by doing everything in the Name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory. (Chapter 1**)
Law is not just referring to the clerical life, the monastic life, or the ascetic life. He’s talking about all of life. Each of us should live a life that is fully devoted to Christ. Each of us should consider our response to God in all things. Follow the path Jesus set before us. Recognize the difference between the way of the world and the way of Christ.
