Of primary importance concerning any collection of possessions that a wayƒarer could accumulate as contents of the scrip, is the
Need to keep it simple. In fact, foremost in the wayƒarer′s entire life journey is simplicity. As ascertained while first backpacking on the Appalachian Trail, a hundred pounds of lightweight backpacking gear still weights a hundred pounds. Therefore, the burden, like all aspects of a wayƒarer′s journeying must be kept to a minimum, kept single.
(Matthew 6:22)
Thus, if our focus is on
just physical things, we will lack time in our life for the
more important things, such as our worship, which includes studying the Bible, sharing what we learn with others and meeting with the brotherhood of Christians.
(Phillippians 1:10 NWT) In contrast, the joy we receive when we serve God far surpasses any joy we can ever obtain by increasing the contents within our Burden.
Furthermore, being totally convinced that serving God is the single most important of all our endeavors, is crucial for our well being as well as for our everlasting life.
(Psalm 19:8)
(Ecclesiastes 5:12)
(2 Corinthians 1:2)
