"We now understand clearly that what humans need to survive is, not work or money, but food. We eagerly await the time when God's promise will be fulfilled: 'There will be an abundance of grain on the earth.' In the meantime, 'having food and clothing, we will be content with these things.' We draw strength from the Bible's words: "Let your way of life be free of money, while you are content with the present things. For he said: I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you." So that we may be of good courage and say: "Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid.
It takes genuine strength to 'walk with God' as Paul and his family are doing. (Genesis 6:9) Whether we now face a serious financial crisis or may one in the future, Paul's example of faith and practical wisdom teaches us important lessons.
But what if family problems are causing us anxiety?
