Luke 12:13-32
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance
with me.”

14 But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over
you?” 15 And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s
life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded
plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no
room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and
build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my
soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat,
drink, and be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your
soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Do Not Worry
22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. 23 Life is more than food,
and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, for they
neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more
value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his
stature? 26 If you then are not able to dothe least, why are you anxious for
the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say
to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so
clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much
more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious
mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows
that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these
things shall be added to you.

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

 
Acts 6:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)

Seven Chosen to Serve
6 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying,
there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were
neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the
disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve
tables.3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men
of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint
over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the
ministry of the word.”
