[Manna - August 4]
The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves. 2 Timothy 2:24,25
SOME of the Lord's dear people have greatly injured
their influence in the Truth by display of too
large a degree of self-confidence, self-assurance, in
speaking of the divine plan to others—especially to
the learned.
Meekness is a jewel wherever found,
and is especially desirable as an adjunct and sling for
the Truth.
Let the Truth be shot forth with all the
force it can carry, but always with meekness and humility;
and the question form of suggesting Truth
will often be found the most forceful. Z.'00-14 R2559:3
