Working for God
After learning to wait on God and after growing a healthy and fruitful relationship with Him, the next step is putting in the work for His kingdom. This collection of 31 daily devotions emphasizes the good work required of God’s children. Andrew Murray reveals not only how important working for God is, but also how to lean into individual giftings from God and how to submit to His laws and ways when working to expand the Kingdom. It is stressed how important it is to remember God’s glory is the ultimate source of power in every work, and if not credited or made evident as such will result in unfruitful labors.

Andrew Murray
"May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God's presence." – Andrew Murray
Andrew Murray was sent to the University of Aberdeen in Scotland for his initial education, remaining there until completing his master’s degree in 1845. During his time at the university, Andrew and his elder brother John were greatly influenced by Scottish revival meetings and the teachings of prominent ministers such as Robert Murray McCheyne, Horatius Bonar, and William Burns.
Following studies in Aberdeen, Andrew Murray continued his theological education at the University of Utrecht. In the Netherlands, becoming a member of Het Réveil, a religious revival movement that opposed the prevailing rationalism of the time. After being ordained by the Hague Committee of the Dutch Reformed Church on May 9, 1848, Murray and his brother returned to the Cape.
Murray served as a pastor in various churches across South Africa, including Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town, and Wellington. He played a pivotal role in the South African Revival of 1860, championing its cause and inspiring many with his passionate preaching.
In 1894, as the merge of an earlier mission organization he had co-founded, Murray formed the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF).
Murray's influence extended beyond his pastoral and missionary work. He was a prominent leader in the ""Inner Life"" or ""Higher Life"" movement, often associated with the Keswick Convention. His writings on faith healing and his belief in the continuation of the apostolic gifts positioned him as a significant forerunner of the Pentecostal movement.
Today, the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) continues its mission, focusing on spreading the Gospel and serving communities across Africa. In 1998, AEF joined forces with Serving In Mission (SIM), further expanding their reach and impact
More than 2 million of Andrew Murray's books have been sold and he is both a contemporary of and synonymous with such great preachers and missionaries of the past as Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller and others. His works have been translated into more than 15 languages worldwide, continuing to remain classic bestsellers across denominational lines.
