Importance of Wills
81
He has provided men with sufficient means to meet every emergency,
if they only had grateful, obedient hearts.
Those who make their wills should not feel that when this is done
they have no further duty, but they should be constantly at work using
the talents entrusted to them, for the upbuilding of the Lord’s cause.
God has devised plans that all may work intelligently in the distribution
of their means. He does not propose to sustain His work by miracles.
He has a few faithful stewards, who are economizing and using their
means to advance His cause. Instead of self-denial and benevolence
being an exception, they should be the rule. The growing necessities
of the cause of God require means. Calls are constantly coming in
from men in our own and foreign countries for messengers to come
to them with light and truth. This will necessitate more laborers and
more means to support them. -
