[Manna - December 10]
Them that honor Me, I will honor. 1 Samuel 2:30
IN whatever department of the Lord's service He
is pleased to open the door of opportunity to us, we
should enter it promptly and with energy—with zeal
for Him and for the cause to which He has called us.
This is one condition of our acceptableness to Him.
If we are slothful, inattentive to opportunities, undoubtedly
they will be removed from us, and given
to others, for the Lord is abundantly able to raise up
one or another to serve His cause without interfering
with, or overruling our free moral agency.
Let us more
and more appreciate what a privilege we enjoy in
being co-laborers together with God, and especially
in connection with this great service which our Lord
and Master Jesus is exercising, and to fellowship in
which we have been called, as His bride and joint-heir. Z. '01-317 R2888:6
