| Daily Heavenly Manna (July 1) |
| Walk as children of light...proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Ephesians 5:8,10 |
| IF we be sanctified to God by the Truth – if our wills be dead, and the Lord's will be fully accepted as ours, in thought, word and act, we have attained the will of God and will win the prize as "overcomers" – even if, opportunities being denied us, we never preached, never gave to the poor and never suffered as martyrs for the Truth's sake. Let us all note well this point, – "This is the will of God [concerning you] even your sanctification." Let nothing becloud or obscure this truth; – neither other truths nor errors. Let it dominate our course in life, and then, if God's will is really our will, we have a clearly marked pathway before us, which is very important. `Z.'99-4` R2412:2 |

| Weekly Manna (June 25) |
| Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2 |
| EVERY trial of faith and patience is an occasion for prayer for the promised succor. Every failure to gain victory is an occasion for a prayer for forgiveness, and as well for divine blessing, that the lesson of our own weakness may be deeply impressed, so that in the next similar trial we may promptly apply for and lay hold upon the "grace to help" promised. Every victory over self is an occasion for prayer that we be not high minded and puffed up, but kept humble and watchful for the next attack from the great adversary. Every service for the Truth becomes an occasion for a prayer of thanks for the privilege of serving the Great King, and mayhap to have suffered something for His cause; and a reason for supplication for further opportunities for service and grace to use them wisely. `Z.'96-163` R2006:1 |
