[Manna - July 6]
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. Psalm 25:12
IT is not for us to supervise the trials and difficulties
which may beset us.
It is for us to make an unreserved
consecration of ourselves to the Lord and
then leave to Him the decision of how great shall be
our trials and besetments—how great our sacrifices
in following His leadings.
The Lord may see that
some need special trials more than others, and those
things which to some would be great trials and imply
great sacrifices, to others, because of greater love for
the Lord and His cause, and greater zeal for service,
the sacrifice might be, as the apostle expresses it of
his own, "light afflictions, which are but for a moment,
and which are working out a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory." Z.'99-13 R2416:5
