Have An Abundance for Every Good Work

God is able to make every grace abundant for you,

 so that in all things, always having all you need, 

you may have an abundance for every good work. 

 2 Corinthians 9:8

Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit" (Jn 12:24).  

The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness (2 Cor 9:10). Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully (2 Cor 9:6). 

Lavishly he gives to the poor; his generosity shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory  (Ps 112:9). Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. As it is written: He scatters abroad, He gives to the poor; His righteousness endures forever. (2 Cor 9:7,9) 

Well for the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice, he shall never be moved; the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance. An evil report he shall not fear; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear till he looks down upon his foes.  (Ps 112:5-8) 

Blessed the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commands. His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be blessed. (Ps 112:1-2)

You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock are spread over the land (Job 1:10).

Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I go back again. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord! (Job 1:21)
