[Manna - July 31]
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire. 1 Corinthians 3:13
THE apostle speaks of this time of fiery trial, and,
likening the faith and works of a zealous Christian to
a house built of gold, silver and precious stones, he
declares that the fire of this day, in the end of this
age, shall try every man's work of what sort it is,
and shall consume all but genuine faith and character
structures.
But we are to remember that such loyal
characters grow not suddenly, in a few hours or days—mushroom like,—but are progressive developments,
fine-grained and strong like the olive tree. Z.'99-171 R2496:5
