Luke 12:29-3429“And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father

knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you

as well.

Luke 12:29-3432“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear

out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is,

there your heart will be also.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-156Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will

also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7Each of you should give what you have decided in your

heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9As it is

written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;

their righteousness endures forever.” [Psalm 112:9]

2 Corinthians 9:6-1510Now he who supplies seed to the sower and

bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11You will be enriched in

every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will

result inthanksgiving to God.

2 Corinthians 9:6-1512This service that you perform is not only

supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God

for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your

generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15Thanks

be to God forhis indescribable gift!
