I just looked up the word for administration/service. It's διακονεω (diakoneo), the same word from which we get deacon, and which is used in Matt. 8:15 "she arose, and ministered unto them." Minister and administer have shifted slightly in meaning since the KJV was published. It's always interesting how studying the scriptures in a foreign language or with a different translation can help to uncover the nuances of English words we thought we knew.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307760805285941294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564951954654634549.post-29574743785101350972011-08-03T19:32:40.302-07:002011-08-03T19:32:40.302-07:00What a wonderful post today.

The Matthew variation of this story says "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Likewise in Matthew 6:30 "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" In my view, the New Testament so often makes it sound like we are condemned for our lack of faith. But 3 Nephi 13:30 "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, EVEN SO WILL HE CLOTHE YOU, IF YE ARE NOT OF LITTLE FAITH." It's not a condemnation, it's a call to action. Not because we're weak, but because through his strength, we can be clothed with power, glory, immortality and eternal life. May he sustain you through your trials.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307760805285941294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564951954654634549.post-23169799417563889282011-04-12T20:42:01.718-07:002011-04-12T20:42:01.718-07:00Thanks for your comment Katie.
