"It is the very essence of all right faith to do the right thing at the right time. God is the great Master Worker, and by His providence He prepares the way for His work to be accomplished. He provides opportunities, opens up lines of influence and channels of working. If His people are watching the indications of His providence, and stand ready to co-operate with Him, they will see a great work accomplished. Their efforts, rightly directed, will produce a hundredfold greater results than can be accomplished with the same means and facilities in another channel where God is not so manifestly working. Our work is reformative, and it is God's purpose that the excellence of the work in all lines shall be an object lesson to the people. In new fields especially it is important that the work be so established as to give a correct representation of the truth. In all our plans for missionary operations these principles should be kept in mind. 6T 24.3"
"But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work."
Both passages highlight God's active involvement in the world. EGW refers to God as the 'Master Worker,' while Jesus states that His Father 'worketh hitherto, and I work.' This suggests a continuous divine activity that humans are invited to participate in.
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
Both passages emphasize the importance of timing and aligning with God's plan. EGW's statement about doing the right thing at the right time echoes the sentiment of Ecclesiastes 3:1, which speaks of a season and time for every purpose.
