Paul, wanfala dadi wea garem tufala pikinini sei: “Taem price bilong evri samting hae tumas, kaikai hem no staka and hem expensive. Mifala laenap for plande hour for tekem kaikai, bat taem mifala kasem long front, no eni kaikai stap. From pipol no garem kaikai, olketa bone nating. Samfala wakabaot gogo olketa foldaon nomoa long road. Price bilong olketa samting wea pipol needim, hem barava expensive. Gogo, selen bilong kantri no fitim eni samting nao. Selen bilong mi long bank, insurance, and pension fund no fitim eniting tu.”

Paul luksavve hem mas garem gudfala tingting mekem hem savve helpem famili bilong hem. (Proverbs 3:21) Hem sei: “Mi wanfala electrician, bat mi willing for duim eni waka nomata pei bilong hem smol tumas. Samfala pipol peim mi long kaikai or eni samting for iusim long haos. Taem olketa givim mi fofala soap, mi iusim tufala and salem nara tufala. Gogo mi kasem 40 baby kokorako. Taem olketa big, mi salem and tekem 300 baby kokorako moa. Mi exchangem tu 50 kokorako for tufala 50 kilo bag cornmeal. Famili bilong mi and olketa narawan kaikaim diswan for lelebet longfala taem.”

Paul luksavve tu hem important for trustim God. Taem iumi duim wanem God laekem, bae hem helpem iumi. Saed long wanem iumi needim, Jesus sei: “No gohed for wari tumas. . . . Dadi bilong iufala long heven savve iufala needim olketa samting hia.”—Luke 12:29-31.

Satan trikim pipol mekem olketa iusim full strong and taem bilong olketa for kasem wanem olketa needim. Olketa wari tumas abaotem samting wea olketa needim, or wea olketa tingse olketa needim, and olketa trae hard for kasem olketa samting wea olketa no needim. Staka garem kaon and olketa mas waka hard for changem datfala kaon.—Proverbs 22:7.

 Samfala pipol mekem olketa disison wea spoelem olketa. Paul sei: “Staka neiba bilong mi lusim famili and olketa fren for go faendem waka long nara kantri. Samfala no garem olketa stretfala immigration pepa and olketa no savve faendem eni waka. Olketa mas haed from police and sleep nomoa long pablik ples. Olketa no depend long God for helpem olketa. Bat mi and famili depend long God for helpem mifala long hard taem wea mifala kasem saed long selen.”

Paul sei tu, “Jesus sei: ‘No warim samting wea bae happen tumoro, leavim go datwan for tumoro nao, bikos evri day bae olketa problem kamap. Tingim nomoa olketa problem wea iufala kasem tuday.’ So evriday mi prea long God for ‘givim mifala kaikai wea mifala needim for tuday’ mekem mifala gohed for laef. And God helpem mifala, olsem Jesus promisim. Samfala taem mifala kasem kaikai wea mifala no laekem. Olsem example, wanfala taem mi laenap for peim kaikai, bat mi no savve wanem nao olketa salem. Taem mi kasem long front, mi lukim olketa salem yogurt. Mi les long yogurt, nomata olsem, mi peim nao. Mi thankiu long God bikos mifala evritaem garem kaikai.” *

“Distaem hem no hard tumas saed long selen. Samting wea kasem mifala helpem mifala for luksavve hem important for trustim God mekem mifala no wari tumas. Sapos mifala gohed for duim wanem Jehovah * laekem, hem bae evritaem helpem mifala. Mifala barava bilivim wanem Psalm 34:8 talem. Hem sei: ‘Trustim Jehovah mekem iufala lukim wei wea hem gud tumas. Man wea depend long hem for protectim hem bae hapi.’ So sapos eni hard taem kamap moa saed long selen, mifala bae no wari tumas.

“Mifala luksavve kaikai nao savve mekem man for laef, no waka or selen. Bible sei, ‘olketa wheat bae barava grow gud.’ Mifala barava luk forward long taem wea disfala promis bilong God bae kamap tru. Distaem, ‘sapos iumi garem kaikai, kaleko, and ples for stap, iumi mas satisfae nomoa witim olketa samting hia.’ Nara scripture wea strongim mifala hem sei, ‘iufala mas no laekem tumas selen, bat iufala mas hapi nomoa long samting wea iufala garem,’ bikos God hem sei: “Bae mi nating lusim iu.” So iumi mas no fraet, bat sei: “Jehovah nao hem helpem mi. Bae mi no fraet.”’” *
