God says: Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness, and all these (earthly things) shall be added unto you. Man says: Seek first worldly wealth and fame and power; religion you can get on a dying bed. God says: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Man says: let prayer go, and work for what you want. God says: Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over, shall men give unto your bosoms. Man says: Charity begins at home. Why give to others that for which you have toiled so hard? Your own family may want it. God says: Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Man says: Each man for himself. Look out for number one. God says: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven. Man says: make sure your worldly treasures. Heaven is a long way off. God says: Whosoever hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? Man says: What guarantee have I, if I give my earnings to the poor, that I shall not come to want myself? God says: there is that that scattereth, and yet increaseth. Man says: It is only by saving and hoarding what you have that it will increase. Reader, what says your conscience? Is not God's way better than man's?—Christian Standard.
