If you'll turn to 2 Corinthians, chapter 9.

We're continuing in our series on the blessed life.

I don't know if you heard about the $1 bill and the $100 bill walking down the street.

There was a $1 bill and a $100 bill walking down the street and they bumped into each other.

Started talking, hey, I hadn't seen you a long time, how's it been going?

The $1 bill said to the $100 bill what you been doing lately the

$100 bill said man I've been to Paris I've been to the Bahamas I've been to

Disney world I'm just having a great time just I'm just having a blast and so the $100 bill then said the

one dollar bill what you've been doing lately and the one dollar bill said oh

same old thing for me church church church. Church, Church, Church. We need to get out of the habit of tipping God.

We need to get in the habit of giving.

Giving from a grateful heart.

And so that's what we've been talking about in the blessed life.

It affects every area of your life. Every area. When God does a work in our hearts, see we're

born takers. We're born again givers, but we have to renew our

minds. And when God doesn't work in our hearts and we begin to give because we want to. And

we become cheerful givers, that's when we know God's done the work in our hearts.

And so that's what we're going to talk about son tonight. Now, let me ask you something.

Does God want us to plan for the future?

Absolutely. How can we though have plans for the future that are godly?

And how can we have faith for the future?

Think about this, is God concerned about our future?
