Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
[The Desire of Ages pp 72] As Jesus worked in childhood and youth, mind and body were developed. He did not use His physical powers recklessly, but in such a way as to keep them in health, that He might do the best work in every line. He was not willing to be defective, even in the handling of tools. He was perfect as a workman, as He was perfect in character. By His own example He taught that it is our duty to be industrious, that our work should be performed with exactness and thoroughness, and that such labor is honorable.
Therefore, some may find it necessary to throw out all their angels, both red and white, if peculiarity is to characterize whatever we do. The genius of our peculiar ways and means becomes apparent when they are incorporated into our everyday experience.
And even if in times past some might have buckled under pressure to go with plan “B”, it is God’s will that we make every needed change in perspective and practice, where warranted. In other words, the peculiarity of God’s kingdom must be manifested in a real time application of His laws and principles.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
