Watering the lesson from Wednesday, "Walk Worthy,"  Brother Sam stressed that we live in constant anxiety because we neither know nor incorporate the word of God. Instead, we feed on the nightly news filled with negativity. Succinctly summed up: "Henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having their understanding darkened, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts." (Eph. 4:17-18). Faith and hope are the opposite of fear and dread. Feeding on the word of God strengthens us and gives us peace.
