140:8.3 Jesus made clear to the three the difference between the requirements of apostleship and discipleship. And even then he did not forbid the exercise of prudence and foresight by the twelve. What he preached against was not forethought but anxiety, worry. He taught the active and alert submission to God’s will. In answer to many of their questions regarding frugality and thriftiness, he simply called attention to his life as carpenter, boatmaker, and fisherman, and to his careful organization of the twelve. He sought to make it clear that the world is not to be regarded as an enemy; that the circumstances of life constitute a divine dispensation working along with the children of God.

Future Faith
Faith that things will all work out.
Helps me see what life’s about.
To sit and worry and do nothing.
Doesn’t help my path for walking!

To sit with worry is disturbing.
It robs you of the things you’re doing.
Worry wastes both time and effort.
It destroys all sense of comfort!

Use that Spirit found within.
Trust and faith dissolve your sins.
God forgives before you ask.
He’ll help you with your hardest tasks!

Look for God, then you’ve been found.
And then your sight is not earthbound.
Your vision for the future clears.
And worry is what disappears!

The peaceful feelings, faith begets
Will fill this world with God effects!
Faith in goodness, kindness, love.
Will help world problems all be solved.

Steadfast faith is what we need.
In times of trouble, we need love seeds.
The will of God will grow with grace.
Love will rule the human race!

Thank You Father, You’re in charge.
And I have faith You will enlarge
The love we all contain within.
Love will conquer the world we’re in!
