"Seek ye .first the kingdom o.f God, and his righteousness,"
admonished Jesus, "and all these things (material prosperity
in
shelter, .food, clothing, etc.) shall be added unto you.' '
That is Jesus• PROMISE. God loves to see His servants
prospering. So He says through David and John. He corrects
and chastens every son whom He loves. He allows His true
children to su.frer much -- to fall into troubles, difficulties,
to face trials and tests for their strengthening. But if
1t1e
endure these tests, hard though they may be -- and i.f we seek
first
our
God,
ElS
righteousness, and His Kingdom, putting
material interests second in our hearts, then in His own due
time God will always prosper His children even in a material
way!
Moses sui'fered affliction in order to lead the
chi l dren of God, choosing this rather than the riches of t he
king

s palace and the pleasures of sin for a season .
David suffered constant criticism and false accusa–
tion, his enemies continually tried to unseat him, and his
trials were so great sometimes it seemed God would never come
to his rescue-- yet God always did! Truly these trials . teach
us to be patient -- for it often seems an eternity before God
.finally delivers us.
Every Christian shall suffer persecution, and mee t
.fiery trials, sorrows, troubles, testa of faith. All our
readers who are Christians will understand. Let us not murmur
or grumble. Let us have FAITH, and endure in our faith patientl y.
And above all, let
us~~~
another, and help one another!
Let us continue to pray earnestly for one another} a nd
we shall march forward through Christ to great v1ctoryt
