Psalm 24
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is He, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory.

Luke 12:22-48
Do Not Worry (Luke 12:22-34)
Jesus tells His disciples not to worry about their lives, what they will eat, or about their bodies, what they will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. He points to the ravens and how they do not sow or reap, yet God feeds them, and to the wildflowers, which are beautifully dressed without laboring. Jesus emphasizes that worrying cannot add a single hour to one’s life and encourages seeking God’s kingdom first, assuring that God will provide for their needs. He advises them to sell their possessions and give to the poor, storing up treasures in heaven where it will not be exhausted, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Be Watchful (Luke 12:35-48)
Jesus tells a parable encouraging His followers to be watchful and ready for His return, like servants waiting for their master to come home from a wedding banquet. He stresses the importance of being prepared and faithful, as the Son of Man will come at an hour they do not expect. Jesus contrasts the faithful and wise manager, who is put in charge of his master’s servants, with the unfaithful servant who mistreats others and lives carelessly. The faithful servant will be rewarded, while the unfaithful servant will be punished severely. Jesus concludes by stating that from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
