Daily Devotional for May 3
Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14
THOSE who have real and sincere faith in God are willing to take Him at His word: and with these the first principles of the doctrine should long ago have been established; much of the superstructure of gold and silver and precious stones should already be erected, and the work be steadily progressing. Such are able, if they are loyal and true to God, to discern between truth and error. We ought to know what we believe and why we believe it, and then should be bold and uncompromising in declaring it; for "if the trumpet give an uncertain sound who shall prepare himself to the battle?" Z.'03-167 R3200:5

My teaching is not Mine, but His that sent Me. John 7:16
THE teachings of all the Lord's representatives should be along this same line--not human speculations and philosophies, but the Word of God--”He that hath a dream let him tell a dream, but he that hath my Word, let him speak my Word.” (`Jer. 23:28`) “To the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this Word it is because they have no light in them.” (`Isa. 8:20`) “Preach the Word, be instant in season,” and even when inconvenient to yourself. (`II Tim. 4:2`) “The Word of God is powerful and sharper than a twoedged sword.” (`Heb. 4:12`) “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy Word is truth.” (`John 17:17`) “They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus” and learned of him. (`Acts 5:13`) Thus it is that those who are faithful and loyal to the Lord and the Word of his testimony speak not vaguely and indefinitely to the world, but declare the message of God, the “good tidings of great joy which shall be unto all people,” “in due time.” `Z'06-57` R3726:6 (Hymn 22)
