King Benjamin ended by saying that they should not try to do more than they were able. They (and we) should do all this in wisdom and order, "for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength" (4:27). Benjamin appears to have been conveying the idea that we do not necessarily need to give in order to provide for luxuries, but we do need to be concerned about essential needs. That is exactly what the welfare program of the Church does. In Benjamin’s day, they did not have a formal church welfare program, so the king needed to set up a system to provide and care for the needy, as Deuteronomy 15 required. The people were required to fill the needs on an individual basis.
