Obedience to the Will of God

"If two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from
God, one to go down and rule earth's grandest empire, the other to go
and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of
entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of
ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of the angels lies only in
obedience to God's will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus
in his rags to Abraham's bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an
Elijah home."
John Newton
