[Manna - November 13]
Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of. Matthew 6:8
OUR petitions, our requests, our cries to the Lord,
therefore, should be for the holiness of heart, for the
filling of His Spirit, for the spiritual food, refreshment,
strength; and as for the natural things, He
knoweth the way we take and what would be to our
best interests as New Creatures.
We are to leave this
to Him: He would not be pleased to see us importuning
Him for things which He did not give us, for to
do so would not be an exemplification of faith in Him,
but the reverse—an exemplification of doubt, a
manifestation of fear that he was forgetting or neglecting
His promise to give us the things needful. Z. '04-90 R3338:6
