Why do you seek from Him provision for years ahead, which you may not live to see? You ask that He provide you in advance with maintenance for your wife and children, who do not yet exist!!! Provisions for your basic needs alone are not enough for you. Rather, you want to be provided in advance with basics and with luxuries for an indefinite period for which you have no guarantee of life. Not only do you not render service to Him in advance but you fail to make a personal accounting of your neglect of His service in the past times when He never neglected to provide you with your needs. pg 461
