| 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 |
