Sabbath: Giving Back
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Luke 12:16-21, Eccles. 2:18-22, Proverbs 27:23-27, 2 Corinthians 4:18, Eccles. 5:10, Colossians 1:15-17.
Memory Text: “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them” (Revelation 14:13).
As we near the end of our earning years, our financial focus turns toward preserving our assets in anticipation of the end of life. The transition from working to retirement can be a very traumatic experience. In terms of our finances, what is the best way to proceed?
As people get older, they almost naturally begin to worry about the future. The most common fears are: dying too soon (before the family is taken care of); living too long (outliving their assets or savings); catastrophic illness (all my resources could go at one time); and mental and/or physical disability (who will take care of me?).
When commenting on these fears, Ellen G. White wrote: “All these fears originate with Satan. … If they would take the position which God would have them, their last days might be their best and happiest. … They should lay aside anxiety and burdens, and occupy their time as happily as they can, and be ripening up for heaven.” — Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 424.
This week we will review God’s counsel regarding our last years. What are things that we should do, what should we avoid doing, and what principles should we follow?
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, March 11.
Amen!

Remember Ukraine | Day 8
One year and 1-week ago, the Ukrainian Crisis began. With the first roll of the tanks, the first shots echoed and the first response of ADRA, a network came to the aid of those in need; it's what we do, it's who we are. We serve with hope through food kits, transport assistance, financial vouchers, protection centers, psycho-social support and prayers with the disheartened. Justice, Compassion and Love anchor ADRA in service to humanity so all may live as God intended. And we will continue to give these supports as we remember and commemorate the Ukrainian Crisis. #adra #ukraine #humanitarian #ngo #nonprofit Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nCPzW0GO5g
