[Songs in the Night - October 4]
Work...while it is still day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4
ASK yourself, What am I doing?
Then lay aside
weights and hindrances, and multiply your efforts.
Be
assured that if you are not a servant of the truth in
some of the many ways now open, you are unworthy of
it, and will lose your hold on it, because now is the
harvest, the sifting and separating time.
Various things
will tend to draw you away from the truth; fathers,
mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters will
oppose and seek to separate you from the truth and its
service.
You must remember the Lord's words that
the "harvest" is not a time for peace, but on the contrary
it will surely produce separation and alienations
between true wheat and all else.
See, and treasure
up his words on this subject. (Matthew 10:30-39 and Luke 18:28-30) Z'87-Sept., p.2 R969:5 (Hymn 309)
