[Manna - October 12]
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. Matthew 6:28
OUR Lord calls attention to how such simple things
in nature should be studied, be considered.
The lessons
to be learned in connection with all the affairs of
life will be helpful to such as approach the study from
the right standpoint, of faith in the Creator, and a
realization that He is necessarily the embodiment and
representative of the very highest and very noblest qualities of which the human mind could conceive;—that He is perfect in Justice, perfect in Wisdom, perfect
in Power, perfect in Love....The heart that thus considers makes progress, grows in grace, in knowledge,
in love.
The heart that fails to consider the
little things fails to be able to appreciate the larger
things, and thus is hindered from a proper consideration
of God and from a proper appreciation of His
plan, and thus from a proper appreciation of His character. Z.'04-37,38 R3313:2
