Lk 12:32-34 - “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
This command to fear not comes on the heels of the passage commanding the disciples to not worry about food or drink or what they will wear. We are commanded to not fear where our money will come from or how we will eat. God will take care of us. But, fear God by trusting Him. Fearing God requires faith. And as we fear God more than our needs on this earth, he will give us not only our daily bread but also the kingdom.
