It is time to call attention to the simple wisdom of that modern proverb, \u201cWhen all else fails, follow directions.144<\/p>\n
One of Rabbi Ben Jochai\u2019s pupils once asked him, \u201cWhy did not the Lord furnish enough manna to Israel for a year, all at one time?\u201d<\/p>\n
The teacher said, \u201cI will answer you with a parable. Once there was a king who had a son to whom he gave a yearly allowance, paying him the entire sum on the fixed date. It soon happened that the day on which the allowance was due was the only day of the year when the father ever saw his son. So the king changed his plan and gave his son day by day that which was sufficient for the day; and then the son visited his father every morning. How he needed his father\u2019s unbroken love, companionship, wisdom, and giving!\u201d<\/p>\n
Thus God dealt with Israel and deals with us in our daily walk.145<\/p>\n
Imagine a field covered with freshly fallen snow. Off to the one side you notice two figures entering the field. The first is larger than the second\u2014perhaps they are a father and his son. As they walk across the field, you notice that the father pays no particular attention to where he is going, but his son, on the other hand, follows directly behind, making a special effort to step in his father\u2019s footprints. After the two figures pass off the scene, you notice that there is only one set of tracks visible in the field, although two people had walked across it. The Christian life is that way. In our daily walk we ought to be following Christ\u2019s example, particularly in times when we are suffering. If someone were to observe the snow-covered fields of your life, would there be one set of tracks, those of Christ? Or would he see two sets, one belonging to Christ and the other distinctly yours?146<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
