Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right. They will be filled.

Do not work for food that spoils. Work for food that lasts forever. That is the food the Son of Man will give you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”

You holy people of God, have respect for the Lord. Those who respect him have everything they need.The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the Lord have every good thing they need.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus replied.“ Has anyone left home or family or fields for me and the good news?They will receive 100 times as much in this world. They will have homes and families and fields. But they will also be treated badly by others. In the world to come they will live forever.

The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The Lord blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn’t hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.Lord who rules over all, blessed is the person who trusts in you.

Honor the Lord with your wealth. Give him the first share of all your crops.Then your storerooms will be so full they can’t hold everything. Your huge jars will spill over with fresh wine.

My son, accept my words. Store up my commands inside you.Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.He stores up success for honest people. He is like a shield to those who live without blame.He guards the path of those who are honest. He watches over the way of his faithful ones.You will understand what is right and honest and fair. You will understand the right way to live.

God’s kingdom is not about eating or drinking. It is about doing what is right and having peace and joy. All this comes through the Holy Spirit.

I once was young, and now I’m old. But I’ve never seen godly people deserted. I’ve never seen their children begging for bread.

That’s what Hezekiah did all through Judah. He did what was good and right. He was faithful to the Lord his God.He tried to obey his God. He worked for him with all his heart. That’s the way he worked in everything he did to serve God’s temple. He obeyed the law. He followed the Lord’ s commands. So he had success.

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live in the land and enjoy its food.

Suppose anyone has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, husband or wife, children or fields because of me. Anyone who has done that will receive 100 times as much. They will also receive eternal life.

Those who are without blame spend their days in the Lord’ s care. What he has given them will last forever.When trouble comes to them, they will have what they need. When there is little food in the land, they will still have plenty.

What should we say then? Since God is on our side, who can be against us?

He has saved us from the kingdom of darkness. He has brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.Because of what the Son has done, we have been set free. Because of him, all our sins have been forgiven.

Christ didn’t have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made right with God because of what Christ has done for us.

Training the body has some value. But being godly has value in every way. It promises help for the life you are now living and the life to come.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus said to them.“ Has anyone left home or wife or husband or brothers or sisters or parents or children for God’s kingdom?They will receive many times as much in this world. In the world to come they will receive eternal life.”

So God said to him,“ You have not asked to live for a long time. You have not asked to be wealthy. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. Instead, you have asked for wisdom. You want to do what is right and fair when you judge people. Because that is what you have asked for,I will give it to you. I will give you a wise and understanding heart. So here is what will be true of you. There has never been anyone like you. And there never will be.And that is not all. I will give you what you have not asked for. I will give you wealth and honor. As long as you live, no other king will be as great as you are.

The good news shows God’s power to make people right with himself. God’s power to be made right with him is given to the person who has faith. It happens by faith from beginning to end. It is written,“ The one who is right with God will live by faith.”( Habakkuk 2:4)

“ The kingdom of heaven is like treasure that was hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again. He was very happy. So he went and sold everything he had. And he bought that field.“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader who was looking for fine pearls.He found one that was very valuable. So he went away and sold everything he had. And he bought that pearl.

I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.

Because of what God has done, you belong to Christ Jesus. He has become God’s wisdom for us. He makes us right with God. He makes us holy and sets us free.

He said,“ Turn away from your sins! The kingdom of heaven has come near.”

From that time on Jesus began to preach.“ Turn away from your sins!” he said.“ The kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Elijah said to her,“ Don’t be afraid. Go home. Do what you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me. Make it out of what you have. Bring it to me. Then make some for yourself and your son.

All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God’s kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom.

They didn’t know that God’s power makes people right with himself. They tried to get right with God in their own way. They didn’t do it in God’s way.

But now God has shown us his saving power without the help of the law. But the Law and the Prophets tell us about this.We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. This happens to all who believe. It is no different for the Jews than for the Gentiles.

He preached boldly about God’s kingdom. He taught people about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one could keep him from teaching and preaching about these things.

Here is what the Lord who rules over all says.“ The people of Judah say,‘ It’s not yet time to rebuild the Lord’ s temple.’ ”So the message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said,“ My temple is still destroyed. But you are living in your houses that have beautiful wooden walls.”The Lord who rules over all says,“ Think carefully about how you are living.You have planted many seeds. But the crops you have gathered are small. So you eat. But you never have enough. You drink. But you are never full. You put on your clothes. But you are not warm. You earn your pay. But it will not buy everything you need.”He continues,“ Think carefully about how you are living.Go up into the mountains. Bring logs down. Use them to rebuild the temple, my house. Then I will enjoy it. And you will honor me,” says the Lord.“ You expected a lot. But you can see what a small amount it turned out to be. I blew away what you brought home. I’ll tell you why,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Because my temple is still destroyed. In spite of that, each one of you is busy with your own house.So because of what you have done, the heavens have held back the dew. And the earth has not produced its crops.I ordered the rain not to fall on the fields and mountains. Then the ground did not produce any grain. There were not enough grapes to make fresh wine. The trees did not bear enough olives to make oil. People and cattle suffered. All your hard work failed.”

That night God appeared to Solomon. He said to him,“ Ask for anything you want me to give you.”Solomon answered God,“ You were very kind to my father David. Now you have made me king in his place.Lord God, let the promise you gave to my father David come true. You have made me king. My people are as many as the dust of the earth. They can’t be counted.Give me wisdom and knowledge. Then I’ll be able to lead these people. Without your help, who would be able to rule this great nation of yours?”God said to Solomon,“ I am glad that those are the things you really want. You have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. You have not asked to live for a long time. Instead, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge. You want to be able to rule my people wisely. I have made you king over them.So wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor. You will have more than any king before you ever had. And no king after you will have as much.”

They will say,‘ The Lord is the only one who can save us. Only he can make us strong.’ ” All those who have been angry with the Lord will come to him. And they will be put to shame.

Suppose you say,“ In the seventh year we will not plant anything or gather our crops. So what will we eat?”I will send you a great blessing in the sixth year. The land will produce enough for three years.

In his days Judah will be saved. Israel will live in safety. And the Branch will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself.

Both of them did what was right in the sight of God. They obeyed all the Lord’s commands and rules faithfully.

I, Simon Peter, am writing this letter. I serve Jesus Christ. I am his apostle. I am sending this letter to you. You are those who have received a faith as valuable as ours. You received it because our God and Savior Jesus Christ does what is right.

“ I have spent time with you preaching about the kingdom. I know that none of you will ever see me again.

That means Paul or Apollos or Peter or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All are yours.

People went to get 20 measures of grain. But they could find only 10. They went to where the wine was stored to get 50 measures. But only 20 were there.You worked very hard to produce all those things. But I struck them with rot, mold and hail. And you still did not return to me,’ announces the Lord.It is the 24th day of the ninth month. From this day on, here is what you should think carefully about. Think about the day when the foundation of my temple was laid.Are any seeds still left in your barns? Until now, your vines and fig trees have not produced any fruit. Your pomegranate and olive trees have not produced any either.“‘ But from this day on I will bless you.’ ”
