[Manna - November 29]
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised. Hebrews 10:23
GOD'S promise is the foundation upon which all
that we hope for, either of character or coming glory,
is built.
Let us prize this truth so that we will not
compromise it in any sense or in any degree; let us not only hold the Truth in the letter but in the spirit;—in the love of it, because it is true, as well as because
it is beautiful and grand.
And let us ever remember
the importance of patient endurance, that we may not
only cultivate the Christian graces, and practice them,
but that we may take joyfully the trials, persecutions
or difficulties which our Lord may see proper to permit
to come upon us for our testing and for the development
of this character which He explains to us is
of paramount importance, and without which perfect
love could neither be attained nor maintained. Z. '01-119 R2793:3
