[Manna - January 14]
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. 1 Corinthians 9:26
IT will be found a great help to the weaknesses of
the fallen nature to have understandingly made a full
consecration of the will,—a full enlistment of every
power and talent of mind and of body.
He who takes
this proper view of his consecration to the Lord and
enlistment in the Lord's army, realizes that he has
nothing more to give to the Lord, and hence, whatever
struggle of the will he may have is all ended when
he has finally decided—"As for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord."
How important it is, therefore,
that all the soldiers realize that the term of the enlistment
is until death, and that there is no room for
even considering any suggestion to withdraw from
the battle and cease even for an hour to fight the good
fight of faith. Z.'03-421 R3273:4
