DAILY HEAVENLY MANNA for APRIL 9
1 Corinthians 9:24 - Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. -- World English Bible version.
TO gain the victory we must not only put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), but we must be heroes in the strife, and wage an aggressive warfare upon the lusts of the eye and flesh (Galatians 5:16) and pride of life and all the foes of righteousness and purity. (1 John 2:16) Love -- love for Jehovah (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:27), for the Truth and for righteousness -- must inspire us, or we shall never be victors. Love alone will keep us faithful even unto death, and make us meet for the inheritance of the saints in light. Where fervent love (1 Peter 4:8) rules the heart it implies that the heart is fully submitted to Jehovah (Psalm 112:7; Isaiah 26:3), and that means that nine-tenths of the battle is already won. But even then, as the apostle says (Jude 21), we must keep ourselves in the love of God, in watchfulness and prayer and zeal; and grace will abound where love abounds. -- Excerpt from "The Just Shall Live by Faith" www.htdbv8.com/1895/r1798.htm Edited to show God's Holy Name as "Jehovah." Some scriptural references have also been added.
