| He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. 1 John 2:6 |
| HE is to walk as our Lord walked, in His general deportment and relationship to everything that is good and correspondingly to avoid everything that is evil. He is to walk as nearly as possible in the footsteps of Jesus. This, however, does not mean that he either should or could, in an imperfect body, walk up to all the perfection of his Lord, who even in His flesh was perfect. It means just what it says, that we should walk as He walked – in the same way, in the same direction, toward the same mark and standard that He recognized and established. `Z. '03-345` R3237:5 |

| Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of. Matthew 6:8 |
| OUR petitions, our requests, our cries to the Lord, therefore, should be for the holiness of heart, for the filling of His Spirit, for the spiritual food, refreshment, strength; and as for the natural things, He knoweth the way we take and what would be to our best interests as New Creatures. We are to leave this to Him: He would not be pleased to see us importuning Him for things which He did not give us, for to do so would not be an exemplification of faith in Him, but the reverse – an exemplification of doubt, a manifestation of fear that he was forgetting or neglecting His promise to give us the things needful. `Z. '04-90` R3338:6 |
