• We don 't see what worry does tous. Read Joshua 1carefully and no­tice the urgency in God 's tone! Heinsis ts, commands that we trustHim and put our worries in Hi scare. He knows what worry can doto us.

••And the seed which fell amo ngthe thorns, the se are the ones whohave heard, and as they go on theirway they are choked with worriesand riches and pleas ures of this life,and bring no fruit to maturity"(Luke 8:14).

Al so (I proved it to myself"},mental anxiety affects physicalhealt h. You do damage to God'stemp le (I. Corinthians 6:18-20) byworrying.

• Concern about what o ther sthink, Humiliation, rejection, los­ing face, meeting new people, self­consciousness, criticism - fear ofthe se of ten stems from worryingabout what other people thi nk . Ifthese worries plague you, see whatGod says abou t lett ing others' opin ­ions run your life.

Paul was inspi red to say,&&TheLor d is my he lpe r, I will not beafraid. What shall man do to me? "(Hebrews 13:6) . An d, "For 11m Inow seeki ng the favor of men, or ofGod? O r am I st riving to pleasemen? If I were st ill trying to pleasemen, I would not be a bond -servantof Christ" (Gala tians I :10).

God says He gives pro mot io n(Psalms 75:6-7). Agai n, no need toworry or curry th e favor of othe rs.

You've read in Proverbs 14:26," In the fea r of the Lord there isstrong confidence:' If we "wor ry:'so to speak, about pleasing God,He'll reward us.

• Prio rities get jumbled. R e­member Jesus' words to Martha inLuk e 10:41-42 . "Martha, Martha,you are worried and bothered abou tso man y things ; but only a fewthings are nec essary, really onlyone, for Mary has chosen th e goodpart , which shall not be taken awayfrom her:' Martha's worries Clut­tered her mind . .

Luke 12:29 says, "And do notseek what you shall eat , and whatyou shall drin k, and do not keepworrying." Review Matthew 6. I al­ways find it encouragi ng.

When we worry, we accuse Godof unfaithfulness. God wants us toput Him to the test (Malachi 3:10) .You can worry about your problemsand reap discouragem ent , crippledgrow th and physical illness. Or youcan put God 's laws into practice andtrust Him for the outco me.

Study and meditate on G od ' sprom ises, strive to please and obeyHim - and then drop your worr iesin His lap "casting all your anxietyupon Hi m, _bec ause He care s foryou" (I Peter 5:7) .

and red locusts.'in -East Africa andthe brown locust in southe rn Africa.are all poised to march .

Af ric a's civ il wars and ove ralleconomic deterioration have led to asevere cutback in national and re­gional pest control agenc ies. In ad­dition, the rai ns that broke dro ughtsin parts of Africa also provided the

. necessary dam p conditions the lo­cust eggs need to hatch .

" W hen the rains fail, the crops donot grow and there is famine ," re­ported The Observer of Britain."When the rai ns come , the cr opsgrow, but so do the locusts - andthere is still famine." .

Som e experts fear that 1986 maybegin several consecutive years oflocust infestat ion. The United Na­ticn s-af filiated Food and Agricul­tu re Org anization announced anemergency plan to try to prevent ,said The Observer, "a calamity ofBiblical proportio ns:' But fami nesand pestilen ces are prophesied asha llmarks of t he end t ime (Mat­thew 24:7).The book of-Joel speaks

dom . We can count on favor withHim and with others (Proverbs 3:3­4), and He even says that we'll re­ceive what ever we ask for , if weplease Him (I John 3:22) .

So why do we worry ? Here aresome comm on reasons.

., ·· -' Wit don'Fao-ou' ·p"arC-Great asGod 's promises are , they do us riogood if we don't do our part . Howcan we help but worry about tomor­row' s finances when today 's spend ­ing isn't under cont rol ? And confi­de nce "in Go d's salvation wa neswhen you haven't progressed on theproblem He cl ear ly showed youthrough His ministers in sermo ns,Bible study or the Church 's publi­cat ions.

Notice the scriptures refe rred toear lier. " I have not seen the righ­teous forsaken , O r his descendantsbegg ing bread" (Psa lm 37:25, NewA merica n S tanda rd throughout,excep t wher e noted) .

, " How blessed is' ever yone whofears the Lor d, Wh o walks in Hisways" (Psalm 128:1) .

The blessing of financial prospe r­ity is predicated on tithi ng and giv­ing offerings to Go d (Malachi3:10) . .

Women , you can count on God 'sspeci a l blessings to women andwives"as long as you do well" (I Pe­ter 3:6, King James Version).

David said in Psalm 37:3, "Trustin the Lord , an d do good: ' If wedon't obey God, His blessings arenot for us. .

• Ex cessive concern about the fu­ture . We find it easier to fret abouttomorrow than to focus on today .

God has promised never to leaveus (Hebrews 13 :5) . The s amepr omi ses we claim t od a y arepromised for the futu re, too. Verse8 reminds us that God does not

..change . His will that we prosper to-day (III John 2) is also H is will forthe fut ure . ' .

The Bible emphasizes the impor­tance of dealing with our problemsone at a time.

Look at Matthew 6:34: "T here­fore do not be anxious for tomor­row; for tomorrow will care for[worry about, marg in] itself." Th eMoffatt translat io n adds, " T heday's own trouble is quite enoughfor the day ."

Wh ile in London on business, Ireceived a call from myoffice inPasadena that caused me no end ofconcern . I frett ed and worried overt he si tu at io n . 1 was beset withsevere headaches, up se t stomachand insomnia .. ' . .

Wor ry has taken over.Well, here's good news!God says

we don't have to wor ry at all, aboutanyt hing. What a relief ! The worldis filled with worries, but you don 'thave to succumb to th em.

Th at's not new to you. You'veread the Bible. You 've seen God'spromises. God has told you His planwill be accompl ished, and He's re­vealed that He has the power to ac­complish it.

But you still worry. And that'ssoberi ng.tbecause God clearly tellsus t hat our worrying d ispleasesH im. Actually, worry is a sin .

Just one sta tement from Godabout Hi s power and love for usshould send worry scurrying fromour minds. Just one bib lical passageexplaining t h e perils of worryshould correct our proclivity for the"what ifs."

God even lists specific blessingsHe will give to us, j ust so we won'tworry about them.

Take a moment to review thepromises we can claim from obey­ing His laws. No urishme nt (Psalm37:25-26), em ployment (Psalm128:1-2) , bealing and good health(James 5:14-15) , financial prosper­ity (Malachi 3:10), proper clothi ng(Malthew 6:30) .

He promises His Holy S pirit andits fruits to help us grow and over­come (L uke 11:13; Galatians 5:22­23). In Psalm 37:4-5 He promises togive us our hear t' s desires, and inJo hn 14:2-3, an office in His King- ,

sphere more conducive to learn­ing:' said Robert Cote. vice princi­pal of Imperial Schools. "H ow youdress is a reflection of your att itude.If the students d ress casually, the yhave a casual approach. In the uni­forms they take a more serious ap­proach ."

Mr . Locke co mmented on thestudents' view of the uniforms: " Inany gro up this large the re will besome who don 't like any change, butthe response has been posit ive over­all. I'm very pleased . It's a cr isp andclean look, and I don 't think it' s in­hibited any of the students."

In the long run , the uniform s willbe less expen sive for the families,especia lly for those who can't affordthe latest fashio ns. Except for theblazers, all the garme nts are ma­chine washable.

Facu lty members may also wearth e uniform s, and many do , Mr .Locke said . "

When students visited a re ­spected area museum Sept. 9, tourguides were impressed with the un i­forms and said they plan to changetheirs to something similar, accord­ing to Mr . Locke.

He said the group received posi­tive comments from other museumvisitors. They told the students thatthey looked sharp and asked themwhat school they were from.

"it was encouraging for the st u­dents," said Mr. Locke .

A di sh can co ns ist o f s ta ple s,spices and a garn ish . It also needsprepara tio n befor e cooking. S uc­cess ful enterta ining requires goodor ganiza t ion and prepara tion. pleas­ant at mos phere and dec or . usuallysome type of food and. most impor­tant ly, a prope r altitude on the partof the host or hostes s.

Kathy Burch is an editorialassistant/or Youth 86.

The Feast presents God 's peoplewith fine opportunil ies to fellow ­ship with one another at dinners,picnics and formal an d informalget-togethers. These occas ions canof fer enjoyment and build unit y, ifthe key ingredients are there.

Let's examine these ingred ientsone by one.

Prepara tion

Preparation will help a party ormea l run withou t a hitch . Afte r thedate and time have been decided ,the gues t list ca n be made cut .Along with your friends, tr y to in­vite someone new. The new couplein t he C h urc h who don't knowmany people would probably love tomeet new frie nds . A widow or wid­ower, a coup le of single people - amix of ages and perso nalities oftencreates an exciting evening. Careshould be taken, however, aboutclashing perso nalities.

What type of activi ty should weplan ? It can be anyt hing from a pic­nic to a formal meal to a bar bec ue toa buffet to an afte rnoo n tea . Manyenj oy holding " open hou ses" intheir motel rooms . Weather, trans­portation , cos t and likes and disl ikesof tbe guests arc factors to conside r.

Should th e event have a pu rposeor a theme suc h as go ing-awayparties and br idal showers do'? Youcould try a team work party. Eachperson has an assign me nt, wheth erit be to bring a type of food. prepare

entertainment or help with decorat ­ing. Th is is one way to get everyoneinvo lved whil e mak ing the workload for the hosts light er . Thi s is es­pecially hel pful dur ing the alwa ys­bus y Feast!

The stap le

The main ingredient for success­ful ente rtai ning is the attit ude be­hind the actio n - true hospit ality.An attitude of warmth and serviceshould stand behind our effort s. Weshouldn' t tr y to impress othe rs withour ta lent s or wealt h, but providethem with an enjoyab le time .

Keep in mind that during theFeast , espec ially, we want to picturethe outgoing concern , generosityand tranquility tha t will pervade thewonde rful world tomor row.

A good pa r ty is 90 pe rce ntwarmth and hospitality, 10 perce ntfood a nd decorations . M akinggues ts feel comfortable and specialdoesn't take elabor ate preparationsor expensive food. All it takes is thedes ire to serve our gues ts .

Have you not iced tha t sponta­neous get-togetbers are ofte n de­lightful ? l anc e went to a friend'shouse where . whi le sitti ng on theFloor. we ate homem ade pizza off aca r to n the refrigerato r ca me in.Later on we had hot oatmeal cook­ies straight from the oven. We spen tour evening laughing, talking , look­ing at photo albums and cleaning uppizza sauce . It was noth ing fancy ,but it was fun. and th e attitude ofgiving was evident in ou r hosts .

Just as the staples in a recipeprovide the foundat ion, so does theright attit ude pr ovide the righ tfoundat ion for entertai ning.

Spices

A recipe containi ng only the sta­ples woul d be bland . T hat' s whyspices are added . The spice in ourrecipe for successf ul entertai ning isfood, both physical and spirit ual.

The physical food, whether it besteak or hamburgers. should be: wellpre pared and attractively served .The hostess should check to sec ifguests can' t cal certain foods be-

ca use of allergies, physi cal prob­lems or personal preference .

It 's importa nt to have a budgetw h e n pl a nn ing th e mea l. Weshouldn' t spend more of our Feastfunds than we can afford, j ust to im­press guests . lf wc plan ahead to en­tertain during the Feast and save ex­tra mone y beforehand, we can enjoya specia l occasion painlessly.

The spiritual food is the fellow­ship and conversation. The host andhostess should gree t their guests ,make introductions and keep an eyeout for the quieter guests to makesure the y aren 't left out.

This is where preparation comesin. The hast or hostess won't beableto perform these duties if he or sheis rushing around tryi ng to get last-

American farmers are adding tosur pluses . Th ere is litt le room forbumper harves ts in many places ex­cept emergency ground storage.

Red uced export markets for U.S.grain (down from more th an 543billion in 1981 to an expected $26.5billion this year) mean there is a bigholdover from last year's supp ly.Prices are certain to be low - while

minute detai ls cleared up . If we or­ga nize well, the majo rity of theprepa rat ions can be made ahead oftime so we can concentrate on ourguest s when they arrive .

The garn ish

O ur rec ipe is nea rly compl et e.The garni sh on a dish adds a finishto it. The garnish on our master­piece is the atmosphere and decor .No matter what your accommoda­t ions are like - man y brethrencamp ! - you can create a friendlyatmosphere. Your guests will wantto relax , sit back and stay a while.

Comfort is a big plus. Make thelocation of your get -together invit­ing . Dep ending on yo ur guests ,throw pillows on the floor may beenough . But. some may need firmchairs or a cushioned couch .

Candles and flowers add warmthand beauty to a room . Lanterns or

governm ent price supports to farm ­ers remai n high .

Surp luses temporary

Still . some are afraid to claim thatthe surplus is here to stay. Poten ­tially negative factors - such as de­pendence upon miracle grains andbio-engi neering - could reve rsethe situation.

Acco rdi ng to the Sept. 9 N ewYork Times. "r oughl y 55percent ofthe world' s rice lands are nowpla nted wit h hig h- yie lding va ri ­eties ... intro duce d in Asia in them id - 196 0s . . . Nea r ly ha l f theplanet' s wheat acreage is planted inhigh-yi elding varieties . . .

It doesn' t really matter what youhave. The guest s will feel welcomeif you show th em attention . Thewarmth of the host a nd hos te ssplays a maj or part in the atmo­sphere.

All in the fa mily

T hese pr inciple s can be usedyear- round. If you feel your enter­ta ining skills aren't up to par justyet, a good place to practice is withthe family. Have a special dinnerand put to work the ing redients inour recipe for success . Home is thebest place to start your ente rtaini ngexperiments.

ther has no indication that we wouldobey Him as spiri t beings ; Th at iswhy God must see the same trai t of

' submission in us as He saw in David.

we as members of God 's Church cankn~-w and practice the way to t ruepeace now!

We are called and chosen to rep­resen t the Prince of Peace (Isaiah9:6) . We are the begotten sons anddaughters of God (Matthew 5:9).We have repented, and must con­tinue to repent daily, of contentiousatti tudes (James 4:1-6). We are tobe amb assadors of peace , ev enth ough making war comes mucheasier.

At Feast sites around the world ,we will walk amon g outsiders whodo not know the way to peace. Butthe world will see 'our peace. Th eywill be favorably impressed by it,but they will not understand it . Ye tour exampl e is not lost . It will standas a witn ess to people in the world ,who will remember later, when Godopens their minds.

God tells us: " Dear ly beloved, Ibeseech you as stran gers and pil­gri ms, abstain from fleshly lusts,which war against the soul; havingyour conversation_honest among theGentiles: that, whereas they speak:against you as evildoers, they mayby your-good works, which theyshall behold, glorify God in the dayof visitation" (I Peter 2:11-12).

God's peace

Ju st what is God 's peace'?"G reatpeace have they which love thy law:and nc tbing j ball offend t hem".(Psalm I t 9:165). -

Peace comes from keeping God 'slaw, which su ms up G od' s love :"For th is is the love of God, that we

Man 's.ways - even his att emptsat peace - have all ended in confu­sion, heartache, pain and death .Man 's history for the past 6,000year s is a chronicle of wars . It isnearl y impossible to trace the his­tor y of nat ion s and find eve n adecade when all the globe enjoyed

,relative' peace.

No, man does not know the wayto peace'; It must be revealed byAlmighty God , whose ways man hasrejected . God alone authors peace .For. "dest ruction and misery are intheir ways: and' the way of peacehave they not known" (Romans3:16-17) . -:

But God has not left man withoutthe hope of peace. T rue Ch ristiansknow and experience God 's peace intheir personal lives, 'and they areabout to keep the Feast of Taberna­cles. w hic h h ighl ight s Go d'sprom ised peace on earth for th enext .I,()()p years! ..... _ "

"peace tha t will cover the entire earth(I saiah 11:1-9). There will be nomore war: Chr ist will rule on earth,uncontested, All human ity will thenkeep the Feast of Tabernacles(Zechariah 14 :16). God's eternal.:peace will fill all natio ns! _,

How thankful we should be that

10:5) . Yet because we are st ill bu­man, th ere are major areas of ourlives that will cont inue to cause usproblems, cropping up day afterday , that we must contin ually stri veto conquer.

God demand s that we show fruitsof overcoming, and be determinedto overc ome. " If we co nfess oursins, he is faithful and ju st to forgiveus Our sins, and to cleanse us fromall unr ighte ousness" (I John 1:9).

Another great lesson David hadto learn applies to us as well. Davidliv ed under , and did not rebelagainst, Saul' s government , unju sttoward him as it was. By supporting

. Saul , David proved to God tha t hewould continue his obedience afte rbecomin g king as well as before.

The same test is being applied toall of us today. Th e government weare expe cted to support is that ofGod's Ch urch in th is era.

If we really believe that God is incharge of His Church - spiritualIsrael - as David believed He wasin control of the physical nation Is­rae l - then we will suppor t God'sgovernment in every way we can. Ifwe refuse to obey God now, our Fa-

because of your own ange r, thoughhe may deserve it , the stain on yourrec ord will follow you the res t ofyour life."

David was moved. He real izedGod had sent the correction and ac­cepted it appropriate ly.

Did David learn the lesson of con­t rolling his temper and not seek ingvengean ce? For the answer, we canlook to atime ,mu ch later in David'slife, when the king fledJerusalem

.The parallels for us

We have seen ju st a few of the les­sons David had to learn to be a justking . Wh at IS important for us tonote is the parallel between the way

· David was trained for kingship andthe way the Eterna l is trainin g eachof us for eventual kingship.

For ins ta nce . a fte r David wasanointed king, he had to wait manyyears before he took the thro ne. Hehad to.go th ro ug h an 'extens ivetraining period in which he learn edhow to be a king. At any time alongthe way, David could have rebelled .

In much the same .way , we asChristians are calle d to be kings.bu t don' t have that power yet. We,too, mus t-learn the lessons Davidlearn ed, because we, too, arc to be­come kings once we have qualifi ed

· (R evelation 5:10, 20:4) .The only way to qualify for a posi­

tion that wi1l incorporate the day­' to-day use of wisdom , love "and ev­ery principle of God's Word is toprepare for it on a day-to-day basis .

If we begin each day by drawing .close to Go d and learning mor efrom His teaching s to us, we will bebetter able to hold out against the

· thoughts and influences with whichSatan bombards us.

After we begin with prayer andstudy of God 's Word, we must con­tinue to be aware of every incidentthat comes our way. and bri ng intocaptivity"every thought to the obe: .r>dience of Christ" (II Co rinthians

"So let him cur se," David told hisnephew, " beca us e th e Lord hat hsaid unt o him, Curse David. Wh othen shall say, Wh erefore hast thou 'done so?" (II Samuel 16:10).

David refused to let his temp erget the hest of him . He had passedanother test.

Pealedup and down the nation of Is­rael, from Dan to Beersheba. At lastIsrael's civil war was over. Saul wasdead, peace had been made with thesuppor ters of Sau l's son Ishboshethand all Israel acknowledged David'sworthiness and authority (II Sa m­ueI5:3). .

The story of how God providedIsrael with a king "after His ownheart" is a fascinatin g one. Moreimportant ly, it is a mood of whatHe is doing with each of us to pre­pare us for His Kingdom.

David, a ruddy young Beth le­hemite, was the seventh son of awealt hy and respected Je w. Hegrew up as the errand boy for his fa­ther and brot hers .

David was about 17 when Godchose him to be king. Over the next13 years of David's life, GO<! taughtDavid how ,to use the powers of. aking without giving him the act ualauthority of kingship . Ti me aftertime, Go d use d trying circu m­stances to help train a brilliant andinnovative young-men for the re­sponsibility of rul ership. .

l.,iying with Saul

Because of his nat ura l ab ilities,David found quick acce ptance inSa ul's court afte r his mo mentousslaughte r of Goliath. Wha t an op­portunity to learn to be aking!

Working closely with S aul andknowing he would succeed him ­when? - must have been a terrific

. strai n on David. He must have real­ized that he had a lot to learn , andthat God alone could put him intothe kingship.

At any rate, never is an instanc erecorded of David failing to supportSa ul in everything, even in spite ofSaul 's nu me rous a ttem pts o nDavid 's life.

David explained to his neph ew. Abis hai that killing Saul wasn't his

place. "And David said to Abishai,Dest roy hi m not : for w ho canstretch fort h his hand against theLord's anointed. and be guiltless?... the Lord shal l smite him; or hisday shall come to die .. . The Lor dforbid that I should stretch fort hmine hand against the Lord'sanointed " (I Samuel 26:9-11) .

Why d id David feel this wayabout Saul ? Because he was obed i­ent to God 's government first andfor~riios.t . , Saul , was king as long as .:helived."and'David recognized andupheld that position. .

Revenge tempered by wisdom

While David was "living-In thewilderness , he ran headlong into an­other incide nt that was to teac h himmore valuable lessons: the experi­ence with Nab al (I Sam uel 25).

J ust in the nick of time, Abigail,Nab al's wise wife, stopped Davidfrom slaughtering N aba l an d his "whole household. She also broughtgood advice . A bigail's sp eec h toDavid was a marvel of diplomacy ,correction and encouragement.

No wonder David was impressed!Abigail made her po~nt modestly,but her message carne through loudand clear: " David, if you kill Nahal
