[Manna - August 21]
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Matthew 6:33
THE Lord's people of spiritual Israel will do well
to bear this thought continually in mind—that spiritual
interests are to be given the preference always;
that temporal affairs are to be managed and controlled from the standpoint of the everlasting welfare;—from the standpoint of spiritual growth and development
and prosperity;—from the standpoint of the best
interests and influences upon their children.
They
should not only hesitate to follow any suggestion
that would take themselves and their families into unfavorable,
godless surroundings, but they should determine
that not under any consideration would they
follow such a suggestion;—that on the contrary the
Lord's people should be their people, even though
this meant less of the comforts and luxuries of this
present life. Z.'02-350 R3110:6
