[Manna - December 18]
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Hebrews 13:6
TO have the proper course in life, to be able to
meet the trials and difficulties of life as they come to
us, and to meet them in the proper spirit which the
Lord directs—in the spirit of rejoicing in tribulation,
and counting such experiences all joy,—it is necessary
that all fear of man, which brings a snare, shall
be removed.
And it is our Lord's direction that we
shall fear Jehovah, and not fear our mortal fellows.
The righteous are bold as a lion, as well as gentle as
a dove, and meek as a lamb.
This peculiar combination
should be found in every Christian, and we doubt
if it will be found elsewhere. Z. '02-45 R2953:1
