[Manna - November 30]
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the age. Mattthew 28:20
SURELY He who was careful to supervise the sowing
work is not less interested and careful in respect
to the reaping.
Let us then thrust in the sickle of
Truth with energy and courage, remembering that we
serve the Lord Christ, remembering that we are not
responsible for the harvest but merely for our energy
in gathering what ripe "wheat" we can find.
If the
labor be great for the finding of a few grains of ripe
wheat we are to rejoice the more in those we do find,
and learn to love and appreciate that which is scarce
and precious.
Let us remember, too, while using all
the wisdom we can in this service, that the Lord's
object in giving us a share in His work is not so much
what we can accomplish as in the blessing that the
labor will bring upon us. Z. '01-155 R2811:4
