Because we know not the exact time of His coming, we are commanded to watch. “Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching.” Luke 12:37. Those who watch for the Lord's coming are not waiting in idle expectancy.

The expectation of Christ's coming is to make men fear the Lord, and fear His judgments upon transgression. It is to awaken them to the great sin of rejecting His offers of mercy. Those who are watching for the Lord are purifying their souls by obedience to the truth. With vigilant watching they combine earnest working.

Because they know that the Lord is at the door, their zeal is quickened to co-operate with the divine intelligences in working for the salvation of souls. These are the faithful and wise servants who give to the Lord's household “their portion of meat in due season.”

Luke 12:42. They are declaring the truth that is now specially applicable. As Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Moses each declared the truth for his time, so will Christ's servants now give the special warning for their generation.

There should be workers appointed in whom the Word of God shall dwell richly, that they may give to every man his portion of meat in due season. I thought Elder Durland [?] was to be left here but I see his name is booked for California. It is not sermonizing that is essential, but educating—someone who knows how to labor for the young. It is doctrines, promises, precepts, warnings, examples, reproofs, correction in righteousness, setting things in order. There needs to be a rightly dividing [of] the word of truth, giving to every man his portion of meat in due season. This means more than sermonizing. This means well organized plans for labor. 6LtMs, Lt 119, 1890, par. 2

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?" [Verse 45.] I repeat this. Many among professedly Christian teachers and pious men are not such at heart. They have not been purifying their souls by obeying the truth. And because the religious experience of many has been only a profession, meat has not been given in due season, and God has been greatly displeased. Blessed is that servant, the Lord declares, whom the Lord when He cometh shall find faithful. "Verily I say unto you, He shall make him ruler over all his goods 23LtMs, Ms 51, 1908, par. 4

The appropriate warnings have not been given. Is it not high time that the messengers should awake and give the warning message that is to prepare the world for the judgments that are right upon us? 23LtMs, Ms 51, 1908, par. 6

They must have truth, present truth, appropriate for the times in which they are living. The message of warning must be given to the world, as Noah gave the message of warning to the antediluvians. "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing"—giving his household "meat in due season."

"Verily I say unto you, that he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants (who is watching and giving meat in due season), and to eat and to drink with the drunken (to absorb his mind and time in this world's enterprises and turn away from the service of God); the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 24:46-51. 11LtMs, Lt 108, 1896, par. 11

These things were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come; and should they not be studied in our schools? The word of God contains instructive lessons, given in reproof, in warning, in  encouragement, and in rich promises. Would not such food as this be meat in due season to the youth? CT 457.3

While precious time is employed in following the crooks and turns of dishonest opponents, the people who are open to conviction are dying for want of knowledge. A train of senseless quibbles of Satan's own invention, is brought before minds, while the people are crying for food—for meat in due season. GW92 179.2

As faithful householders, give meat in due season to the household of God. Present truth to the people. Work as if in full view of the whole universe of heaven. We have no time to lose—not a moment. Important issues must soon be met, and we need to be hidden in the cleft of the rock, that we may see Jesus and be quickened by His Holy Spirit. 7T 154.3

The minister has no sanction for confining his labors to the pulpit, and leaving the people to digest the Word themselves, or else remain in ignorance. The minister must know the nature of the difficulties in the minds of the people, that he may know how to give every man his portion of meat in due season.8LtMs, Lt 23a, 1893, par. 22

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." [Verses 45, 46.] Where are the faithful and wise servants in our cities today?"Verily I say unto you,

That he shall make him ruler over all his goods." [Verse 47.]That servant who diligently searches the Word, speaking the words of truth in faithful warnings, calling attention to the dangers that beset the world, Christ calls a faithful and wise servant. Let those in each town and city who have read these warnings manifest a diligent concern for souls. Let them speak of the truths of the Word of God. "Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." [ 21LtMs, Lt 18a, 1906, par. 19 - 21LtMs, Lt 18a, 1906, par. 21

As a true shepherd, you should discipline  yourself to deal with minds, and give to the flock of God each their portion of meat in due season. You should be careful, and study to have a store of practical subjects that you have investigated, and can enter into the spirit of, and can present in a plain, forcible manner to the people, at the right time and place, as they need. T22 157.1

You have not been thoroughly furnished from the word of inspiration unto all good works. When the flock have needed spiritual food, you have frequently presented some argumentative subject no more appropriate for the occasion than an oration upon national affairs. T22 158.1

Every minister is under the most sacred obligation to give the flock of God meat in due season. And remember that all we do is to be done "for the edifying of the body of Christ." [Ephesians 4:12.] Christ's laborers are very near His heart of love. He desires to perfect His household through the perfection of His ministers.We need to study Revelation in connection with Daniel. Both of these books are to be carefully and prayerfully studied, and as we study them, we are to pray that their importance may be impressed on our hearts by the Holy Spirit. 17LtMs, Lt 170, 1902, par. 15

The truth, present truth for this time, is to be given to the people as meat in due season. A plain "Thus saith the Lord" is to be declared, not in an authoritative manner, but with assurance and in the spirit of love that the Holy Ghost imparts to the sincere believer. Angels of God will make the impressions on hearts if the truth is presented in the fear of God.23LtMs, Lt 40, 1908, par. 6

The meeting will then be as meat in due season, bringing to all present new life and fresh vigor. When God's people see the great need of working as Christ worked for the conversion of sinners, the testimonies borne by them in the Sabbath services will be filled with power. With joy they will bear witness to the preciousness of the experience they have gained in working for others. GW 199.4
