REACHING FOR THE HEIGHTS
RICHARD WURMBRAND
FEBRUARY 19

"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread." (Proverbs 12:11)

Mankind has three times the weapons necessary to kill every living being and only half the food it needs. Every second man is undernourished or starving. Strikes, riots, and revolutions do not increase the output of food. Furthermore, they do harm to our fellow men.


Try the means shown by God for such circumstances:

1) Pray regularly, in the words taught by our Lord, "Give us this day our daily bread."

2) Be obedient to God. It is written, "If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them ... ye shall eat your bread to the full" (Lev. 26:3-5).

3) Be careful how you eat. "God hath created [meats] to be received with thanksgiving" (1 Tim. 4:3). "Eat thy bread with joy" (Eccl. 9:7). The first Christians "did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart" (Acts 2:46).

4) "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not pour you out a blessing" (Mal. 3: 10).

5) Change your attitude, if necessary, to suit the promise, "He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; ... bread shall be given him" (Isa. 33: 15.16).

We, on the contrary, spend "money for that which is not bread" (Isa. 55:2). We all squander. We give little thought to the needs of others.

Knowing that hunger stalks the earth, let us change our ways today for the sake of our own spiritual health and for the sake of those who starve.
