[Manna - October 15]
Have faith in God. Mark 11:22
OUR daily experiences since we became the Lord's
followers have been guided and guarded apparently
by the power unseen, to the intent that as pupils in
the school of Christ, we may all be taught of Him
and develop more and more of the graces of the Spirit,
and particularly more faith.
How important this
item of faith is we probably cannot fully appreciate
now.
It seems to be the one thing that the Lord specially
seeks for in those now called to be followers.
...So according to our faith will we be able to rejoice
even in tribulation.
We cannot enjoy the sufferings;
we can enjoy the thought which faith attaches
to them, namely, that these are but light afflictions
working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory. Z. '04-59 R3324:5
