[Manna - November 22]
The zeal of Thine house hath consumed me. Psalm 69:9
COLD, calculating people may have other good
qualities, but there is no room for coldness or even
lukewarmness on the part of those who have once
tasted that the Lord is gracious.
With such, the love
enkindled should lead to a consuming zeal.
It was
thus with our Lord Jesus, and this was one of the
reasons why He was beloved of the Father....Let all
who desire to be pleasing in the Lord's sight become
so filled with the same spirit of zeal for righteousness
and truth that it will consume them as sacrifices
upon the Lord's altar.
Thus they will be most
pleasing and acceptable to Him through Jesus our
Lord. Z.'98-112 R2289:3
