[Songs in the Night - August 24]
For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5
IN VIEW of this knowledge of the wonderful day
about to dawn, how shall we who are hoping to be of
the kingdom class of that day deport ourselves now?
How shall we live?
Ah! says the apostle, if we are
"children of the day," we are to show it.
We are
God's representatives and ambassadors.
We are to tell
the people about the light and knowledge and glory of
God that is to come so soon, that will fill the whole
earth by and by.
We are to help them to contrast the
present with the glorious conditions that will then
exist, so that all who love the light may take heed to
the Word of God and get ready to be members of that
kingdom class....Let us remember that we belong
to the new dispensation, and not to the old, and should,
therefore, live in accordance with our citizenship and
our responsibilities toward the Prince of Light and in
opposition to the prince of darkness, his works and his
ways. Z'13-325 R5339:5 (Hymn 289)
