[Manna - October 7]
Every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. Matthew 7:26
THE hopes built upon the Lord's promises and unaccompanied
by works are hopes built upon the sand.
It is only a question of time until the great testing
time shall come and such hopes will be shown to be
worse than useless.
They will be shown to have deceived
their possessor, who thought himself safe in
his assurances of a share in the Kingdom....On the
contrary, those who build with obedience, their hearts
as well as their tongues confessing and honoring the
Lord, their deeds corroborating their faith, and their
fruits bearing testimony of their vital relationship
with the Lord—these shall pass through all the storms
of life and shall never be moved, never be shaken,
because they are on the foundation. Z.'04-46 R3318:5
