David sei: “No enitaem mi lukim God hem lusim eni man wea raeteous or olketa pikinini bilong hem short long kaikai.” David talem disfala toktok bikos hem nao samting wea kasem hem long laef bilong hem. God hem evritaem lukaftarem hem. (Ps. 37:25) Bat datfala toktok bilong David no minim pipol wea worshipim Jehovah bae no savve short long eni samting.
Samfala taem David seleva tu kasem barava hard taem. Wanfala taem nao hem taem hem ranawe from Saul wea laek for killim hem dae. From kaikai bilong olketa hem klosap for finis, David askem wanfala priest for givim bred long hem and olketa wea go witim hem. (1 Sam. 21:1-6) So long datfala taem, David hem “short long kaikai.” Nomata olsem, long datfala hard taem, David savve Jehovah nating lusim hem. No eni scripture long Bible sei David barava no garem eni kaikai nao gogo hem mas begim pipol for givim kaikai long hem.
Long Matthew 6:33, Jesus sei sapos Kingdom hem first samting long laef bilong olketa wea worshipim God, bae hem givim evri samting olketa needim.

Wanfala barava nogud samting wea olketa Nazi duim for mekem olketa brata hia no faithful, hem nao for no givim inaf kaikai long olketa.

Nomata olsem, Jehovah bae helpem evriwan wea gohed faithful long hem for no givap. (1 Cor. 10:13) Iumi mas no forgetim samting wea Paul talem long Philippi 1:29, wea sei: “Iufala no kasem privilege for biliv long Christ nomoa, bat for safa for hem tu.”
Jehovah promis bae hem stap witim olketa wea worshipim hem.
