We are to trust God especially in times of trouble and lack.

We should recognize and share in the pain of the lost, hungry and hurting in this world and be willing to do something about it.

We should spiritually nourish ourselves on the Word of God.

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
