[Manna - February 27]
Let your moderation be known unto all men. Philippians 4:5
THE Greek word here rendered "moderation" seems
to carry with it the thought of reasonableness, and of
not exacting our rights too rigorously.
Mercy and
leniency are certainly qualities required of all who
would be members of the body of the Anointed.
Faithfulness in the performance, as far as possible, of
all that justice would require of us, and mercifulness in
respect to all our requirements of justice from others
should be our rule: so shall we be the children of our
Father which is in heaven, for He is kind and merciful
to the unthankful. Z.'03-7 R3128:2
