    When we honor God with our words and with everything that He has bestowed upon us, He will astound us in ways that are beyond our comprehension. God certainly honors those who honor Him.

    We will continue our meditation based on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (KJV) When we read this verse in the Message translation it reads this way; 2 Corinthians 9:8, ...read more
