[Manna - May 8]
And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:25
WE all should understand that we have something
to do in realizing the gracious promises of God to us.
In connection with the affairs of this present life He
has promised that our bread and water shall be sure,
but this does not imply that we shall neglect reasonable
opportunities for securing these.
He has promised
us also a share in the Kingdom by and by; but it is for
us to make our calling and election sure.
God is thoroughly
capable and thoroughly willing to perform all
of His part in connection with every matter, but it is to
our advantage that He calls us to show our faith by
our works—by our co-operation with Him in all reasonable
ways. Z.'03-175 R3205:4
