When we take care of His people, God will make sure to take care of us.

  • Philippians 4:18-19 HCSB  But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided--a fragrant offering, a welcome sacrifice, pleasing to God.  19  And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
  • Matthew 6:28-34 HCSB  And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don't labor or spin thread.  29  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!  30  If that's how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't He do much more for you--you of little faith?  31  So don't worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'  32  For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  33  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.  34  Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
