Psalm 145:8-9

8 Gracious and merciful is the Lord,
    slow to become angry,
        and overflowing with gracious love.
9 The Lord is good to everyone
    and his mercies extend to everything he does.

Psalm 145:14-21

14 The Lord supports everyone who falls
    and raises up those who are bowed down.
15 Everyone’s eyes are on you,
    as you give them their food in due time.
16 You[a] open your hand
    and keep on satisfying the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all of his ways
    and graciously loving in all of his activities.
18 The Lord remains near to all who call out to him,
    to everyone who calls out to him sincerely.[b]
19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him,
    hearing their cry and saving them.
20 The Lord preserves everyone who loves him,
    but he will destroy all of the wicked.

21 My mouth will praise the Lord,
    and all creatures will bless his holy name forever and ever.

Proverbs 10:1-5

Solomon’s Sayings

10 The proverbs of Solomon.

A wise son brings joy to his father,
    but a foolish son grieves his mother.

2 Nothing good comes from ill-gotten wealth,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord won’t cause the righteous to hunger,
    but he will reject what the wicked crave.

4 Lazy hands bring poverty,
    but hard-working hands lead to wealth.
5 Whoever harvests during summer acts wisely,
    but the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.

Philippians 4:10-15

The Philippians’ Gifts

10 Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.[a] 11 I am not saying this because I am in any need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in. 12 I know how to be humble, and I know how to prosper. In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little. 13 I can do all things through him[b] who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.

15 You Philippians also know that in the early days[c] of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church participated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you.
