Matthew 6:33

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

NLT:  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

John 8:29

“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”

NLT:  “And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me.  For I always do what pleases him. “

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

NLT:   Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.  Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
