[Manna - October 18]
He that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Proverbs 18:9
WE cannot see wastefulness in any of the Lord's
consecrated people without feeling that, however great
progress they have made in understanding the mind
of the Lord in some respects, they are still deficient
in this particular.
An appreciation of the gift and respect
for the Giver implies carefulness and a stewardship
in respect to all that comes to us from our heavenly
Father—things temporal and things spiritual.
According to our Lord's parables He is measuring our
love and zeal in a considerable degree by our use or
abuse of the talents, opportunities, blessings, temporal
and spiritual, now bestowed upon us. Z. '04-77 R3333:3
