I couldn't decide which passage to share this morning, so I'm sharing them both ;-)
RTBEDWF!!!
Psalm 112
1 Praise the LORD!
How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands.
2 Their children will be successful everywhere;
an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
3 They themselves will be wealthy,
and their good deeds will last forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
5 Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.
6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
7 They do not fear bad news;
they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.
8 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
They will have influence and honor.
10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

Ephesians 3
14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.
17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.
Your roots will grow down into God's love
and keep you strong.
18 And may you have the power to understand,
as all God's people should,
how wide,
how long,
how high,
and how deep his love is.
19 May you experience the love of Christ,
though it is too great to understand fully.
Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God,
who is able, through his mighty power at work within us,
to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
