I’m going to rely on Jesus Christ to multiply what paltry little I have saved and leave it at that. If He took care of my Salvation, why wouldn’t He take care of the lesser gifts.
Absolutely true -
Pr 27:12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
We shouldn’t tempt God, and like the five wise virgins, we must be wise and prepare. Matthew 25:1-9
But for the righteous, this is *also* true -
Matthew 6
25 ¶ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Your comment reminded me of this semi-applicable joke:
A flood was coming and Bob a man of faith was watching the water come past his house. Bob prayed for God to rescue him.
A neighbor came by on a raft and said “get in I’ll save you!” Bob said “No I am waiting on God to save me!” His neighbor went past, now the water was raising fast! The water was rushing past his second story window! A ship came by and offered help but Bob refused saying, “I have faith God will save me!” Finely as Bob stood on his roof a helicopter came and shouted down “Grab the ladder!” Bob said “No God will save me!” They left and Bob was washed away.
Bob meets Jesus judgement day and says “What happened I waited for you to save me?” Jesus responded “Bob I sent you a raft, a ship and a helicopter! What more did you want? The coast guard?”
