Torah: Nitzavim-Vayelech, 3rd Portion Devarim (Deuteronomy) 30:7-14
7 And the Lord your God will [g]inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8 And you will again [h]obey the Lord, and [i]follow all His commandments which I am commanding you today. 9 Then the Lord your God will prosper you [j]abundantly in every work of your hand, in the [k]children of your womb, the [l]offspring of your cattle, and in the [m]produce of your ground, for the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; 10 [n]if you [o]obey the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, [p]if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.
11 “For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away. 12 It is not in heaven, [q]that you could say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may [r]follow it?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, [s]that you could say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and get it for us and proclaim it to us, so that we may [t]follow it?’ 14 On the contrary, the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may [u]follow it.

Deuteronomy 14:22-15:23
22 “You shall certainly tithe all the produce from [a]what you sow, which comes from the field every year. 23 You shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God, at the place where He chooses to establish His name, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
Romans 15:23-33
25 But now I am going to Jerusalem to [b]minister to the saints. 26 For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [c]of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me, 31 that I may be delivered from those in Judea who [d]do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Have you noticed that some people who are most able to give are least likely to? … and those who have their own problems and concerns are the most generous? When Paul was writing to the Corinthians he was writing to a wealthy city. But the believers Paul used as an example in giving were facing tough times in much smaller, struggling towns. Nevertheless, they had already taken up an offering for churches in need. How do you respond when God asks you to give?
Scripture

15 “[j]How beautiful you are, my darling,[k]How beautiful you are!Your eyes are like doves.”
Song of Songs 2
The Groom
7 “Swear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem,By the gazelles or by the does of the field,That you will not disturb or awaken my loveUntil she pleases.”
Song of Songs 3
11 Go out, you daughters of Zion, And look at King Solomon with the [aj]crown
With which his mother has crowned him On the day of his wedding, And on the day of the joy of his heart.”
Song of Songs 4
1 “[ak]How beautiful you are, my darling, [al]How beautiful you are!
Your eyes are like doves behind your veil; Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Mount Gilead.
2 Corinthians 8:1-15
7 But just as you excel in everything, in faith, speaking, knowledge, and in all earnestness and in the [f]love we inspired in you, see that you also excel in this gracious work. 8 I am not saying this as a command, but as proving, through the earnestness of others, the sincerity of your love as well. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 10 I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.
13 For this is not for the relief of others and for your hardship, but by way of equality— 14 at this present time your abundance will serve as assistance for their need, so that their abundance also may [h]serve as assistance for your need, so that there may be equality; 15 as it is written: “The one who had gathered much did not have too much, and the one who had gathered little did not have too little.”
Psalms 49
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of [f]the grave,For He shall receive me. Selah
16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,When the glory of his house is increased;17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;His glory shall not descend after him.18 Though while he lives he blesses himself(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;They shall never see light.[g]20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,Is like the beasts that perish.
Proverbs 22:20-21
20 Have I not written to you [a]excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
21 To make you know the [b]certainty of the words of truth,
So that you may [c]correctly answer him who sent you?
