29. As that, “Take no
thought for the morrow,” and, “Take therefore no thought what
ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, or what ye shall put on.”2344
Now when
we see that the
Lord Himself had a
bag in which was put what was
given,
2345
that it
might be kept for necessary uses as the time should require; and
that the
Apostles themselves made much provision for the indigence
of the
brethren, not only for the morrow, but even for the more
protracted time of impending
dearth, as we read in the Acts of the
Apostles;
2346
it is
sufficiently clear that these precepts are so to be understood,
that we are to do nothing of our work as matter of necessity,
through love of obtaining temporal things, or fear of
want.
