"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Ecclesiastes 11:1 

We all become concerned about the future and how we might survive or make ends meet. God's response to our anxiety seems counter-intuitive to our natural minds. Instead of encouraging hoarding and caching of our substance and goods, God encourages liberality. By His own example the Lord shows us how to be giving and generous with whatever we consider is ours. He has freely given in selfless and life-demanding sacrifice, to meet the greatest necessity of mankind, something we could never do for ourselves - the need of our souls to be saved and rescued from the ravages of sin. With the same benevolence we are encouraged to give to those in need of the things that we are and have, not merely of our abundance or excess, but also of those things we consider are for our own 'necessity'. Such wholehearted disbursing is rewarded with the promise of God-ordained future provision.
