Man thinks, God directs.

There is a sense of call to take leadership roles. You're serving people and submitting to God as best you can.

Man proposes, but God disposes.

Our second remark is, that the office is of divine appointment, not merely in the sense in which the civil powers are ordained of God, but in the sense that ministers derive their authority from Christ, and not from the people.

Ministers of God's choosing are engaged in a great work. They are warring not merely against men, but Satan and his angels.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

He who labours, prays.

All that men will serve God with must be done in Faith, viz. in the Spirit. It is the Spirit that maketh the work perfect, and acceptable in the sight of God. All that a man undertaketh and doeth in Faith, he doth in the Spirit of God, which Spirit of God doth co-operate in the work, and then it is acceptable to God.
