Daniel 5:1-12
King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine in their presence.Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that his predecessor Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, wives, and concubines could drink from them.So they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, wives, and concubines drank from them.They drank the wine and praised their gods made of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.At that moment the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and began writing on the plaster of the king’s palace wall next to the lampstand. As the king watched the hand that was writing,his face turned pale, and his thoughts so terrified him that he soiled himself and his knees knocked together.The king shouted to bring in the mediums, Chaldeans, and diviners. He said to these wise men of Babylon,“ Whoever reads this inscription and gives me its interpretation will be clothed in purple, have a gold chain around his neck, and have the third highest position in the kingdom.”So all the king’s wise men came in, but none could read the inscription or make its interpretation known to him.Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face turned pale, and his nobles were bewildered.Because of the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen came to the banquet hall.“ May the king live forever,” she said.“ Don’t let your thoughts terrify you or your face be pale.There is a man in your kingdom who has a spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your predecessor he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods. Your predecessor, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, mediums, Chaldeans, and diviners. Your own predecessor, the king,did this because Daniel, the one the king named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and intelligence, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems. Therefore, summon Daniel, and he will give the interpretation.”

-
Ecclesiastes 7:2-6
It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, since that is the end of all mankind, and the living should take it to heart.Grief is better than laughter, for when a face is sad, a heart may be glad.The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in a house of pleasure.It is better to listen to rebuke from a wise person than to listen to the song of fools,for like the crackling of burning thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.

2 Chronicles 24 11-2 Chronicles 24 14
Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers, and when they saw that there was a large amount of silver, the king’s secretary and the high priest’s deputy came and emptied the chest, picked it up, and returned it to its place. They did this daily and gathered the silver in abundance.Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those in charge of the labor on the LORD’s temple, who were hiring stonecutters and carpenters to renovate the LORD’s temple, also blacksmiths and coppersmiths to repair the LORD’s temple.The workmen did their work, and through them the repairs progressed. They restored God’s temple to its specifications and reinforced it.When they finished, they presented the rest of the silver to the king and Jehoiada, who made articles for the LORD’s temple with it— articles for ministry and for making burnt offerings, and ladles and articles of gold and silver. They regularly offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s temple throughout Jehoiada’s life.

Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”Then the leaders of the households, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.For the service of God’s house they gave 185 tons of gold and 10,000 gold coins, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 4,000 tons of iron.Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the LORD’s house under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders’ willingness to give, for they had given to the LORD wholeheartedly. King David also rejoiced greatly.

Philippians 4:15-19
And you Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times.Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account.But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided— a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
