[Manna - January 22]
Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24
IT would seem as though the Adversary at times
attempted to discourage us by making us think that
the trials and difficulties of the "narrow way" of sacrifice
will be unavailing anyhow, and that we might
as well give up....And what course should we pursue
at such a time?
We should follow the example
of our Lord, and seek the Father's face, anxious to
know whether or not our interests are all right with
Him; anxious for some assurances that while the
world may hate us, and say all manner of evil against
us falsely, we still have His approval; anxious for
some fresh assurance that it will be well with us, that
the Lord will grant us a part in the better resurrection
to life eternal. Z.'01-79 R2774:6
