[Manna - April 20]
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. Luke 16:10
THIS does not mean that the Lord's people are to
be content with the usual routine of daily life in the
home or in the shop, and are to say to themselves,
"God accepts my labor as though it were given
directly to Him in some other more desirable form,"
but it does mean that each person so situated should
day by day carefully scan his earthly duties and obligations
to see in what manner he could justly and
properly cut off moments, hours or days from the
service of earthly things and earthly interests, that
now might be given to sacrifice for spiritual things
and spiritual interests of himself or others.
The consecrated
heart, the sacrificing priest, is the one who
will improve the moments as they swiftly fly, using
them as far as possible in the Father's business. Z.'03-407 R3266:2
