After this the Lord appointed 72 others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.

Proverbs 16:3
Entrust your plans to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.
In my twenties I was self-employed for a short time and loved the experience. Then, from 1993 onward, I was employed in the insurance industry, always with large insurance carriers.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper, and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future.

Matthew 16: 24-26
If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Matthew 6: 19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

2 Corinthians 9: 6&7
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
