Devotions
Jehovah Our God
The Psalmist says, "The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works." (Psa. 145:9.) This sweeping statement takes in the utmost bounds of the material universe and also the humblest, as well as the most exalted, sentient being. The whole creation is his care. Jehovah, our God, is the great Emperor of the whole universe, and his wisdom, power, goodness and benevolence are abundantly equal to all the responsibilities of so exalted an office. The human mind staggers in its efforts to comprehend the mental resources of a being who is able to assume and to bear such responsibility. Think for a moment of the memory that never fails; of the judgment that never errs; of the wisdom that plans for eternity without the possibility of failure, and that times that plan with unerring precision for the ages to come; of the power and skill which can harness even every opposing element, animate or inanimate, and make them all work together for the accomplishment of his grand designs; of the tireless vigilance that never ceases, nor seeks relief from the pressing cares of universal dominion – whose eye never sleeps, whose ear is ever open, and who is ever cognizant of all the necessities, and active in all the interests, of his broad domains. R1560
Exceeding Great & Precious Promise
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Phil. 2:13
      He works in us, to will and to do, through these exceeding great and precious promises and the glorious prospects and rewards that attach to them; but the amount that He will work in us and the results that will be worked out through these promises, depend upon us. ...We could neglect the word of His promise, neglect the various means of grace which He provides for our strengthening, establishing and upbuilding in the knowledge and grace of the truth. And thus neglecting His provisions we would proportionately fail to abide in His love – fail to obtain the promised favors. The Apostle intimates this, saying: – "Keep yourselves in the love of God." Jude 21. R3021,c2,p2


Daily Heavenly Manna (February 25)
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
WE are to learn the lesson that a man's life consists not in the abundance of things which he possesseth – food and raiment – but that his life, in the fullest, grandest, highest sense, is dependent upon his complete submission to the divine will – his careful attention to every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God... – every admonition, every encouragement, every promise, is necessary to the development of those whom God is now calling to eternal life as joint-heirs with His Son in the Kingdom. Let us then, more and more, as the disciples, pupils, of the Lord Jesus, keep in memory and act upon the suggestion of the words of this text. `Z.'02-246,248` R3058:5; 3060:4
Weekly Manna (February 19)
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unfaithful nothing is pure; but both their mind and conscience are defiled: they profess to have known God, but by their works they renounce Him, being abominable and disobedient, and as to every good work worthless. Titus 1:15,16 (Diaglott)
   WHAT a terrible condition this is, and how careful all the Lord's people should be, not only to have pure hearts, pure minds, but also to keep their consciences very tender, in close accord with the Word of the Lord. This condition can only be maintained by judging ourselves, and that strictly and frequently, by the standard which God has given us, His law of love.
"I want the first approach to feel
Of pride or fond desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire."
`Z.'99-214` R2516:6
