and His people. We should see and acknowledge
the workings of His providence, and bow to His
authority. Let every messenger of God attend to his
own specific work, and not rush into a work that is
simply after his own wisdom and devising. Let the
Lord's messengers go unto the mercy seat, that they
may receive wisdom and grace to know God, to
understand His workings. Knowledge of God will
give them well-balanced minds and sound
judgment, that they will not move impulsively at
this critical, important time of earth's history.
Due Consideration
It is not the will of God that any of His servants
should move hastily and take shortsighted views.
He would have them wait patiently, and manifest
due consideration. Every movement should be
made with judicious thoughtfulness, and after
much prayer. Then our brethren will have a more
even, tranquil experience, and will be able to be a
greater benefit to the people; for the glory of the
Lord will be their reward.
