| Behold,
I have not given you a spirit of fear, says the Lord, but a spirit of hope.
Do not fear for tomorrow, for you know not what it brings. Give much to the Lord and much will be given. |
2Corinthians
9:6-15 My point is this: the person who sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.
Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly
or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver. And God
is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough
of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good
work. Just as it is written, “He has scattered widely, he has given
to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.” ...Now God who provides
seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply
of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.
You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every
occasion, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God, ...
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.
Matthew
6:25-34 “Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life, as
to what you will eat or drink, or about your body, as to what you will
wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?
Look at the birds of the sky: they do not sow, or harvest, or gather into
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable
than they are? Can any of you add time to his life by worrying? Why worry
about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow. They do
not work or spin, yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not
clothed like one of these! And if God clothes the grass of the field this
way, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire to heat the
oven, won’t he clothe you even more, you people of little faith? So then,
don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What
will we wear?’ For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you. So then, do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble
of its own.
