You will abound in every good work

Today’s Promise to Memorize*

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Cor. 9:8)

God is able!

It’s important to understand that we serve a God who is “able”. Nothing is too difficult or impossible for Him! (Luke 1:37). In fact, He is “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20). And according today’s memory verse, “He is able to bless you abundantly”. What does “abundantly” mean? According to the dictionary it means: amply, copiously, healthily, plentifully appreciably, noticeably, significantly astronomically, big-time, broadly, colossally, considerably, enormously, extensively, greatly, highly, hugely, largely, massively, monstrously, monumentally, much, sizably, staggeringly, stupendously, tremendously, utterly, vastly. 

Wow! So why would God want to bless you like that? He gives the answer in the second part of the passage: “so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” God blesses you to be greatly equipped to do “every good work”. In other words,  God has created you for a wonderful purpose to walk in because you are His model of good works!

A Reminder

*Over the next few days I am posting Bible promises every believer MUST know (and commit to memory) to be fully equipped no matter what they are faced with. Meditate on them and memorize them. 

 Proven ways to help memorize:

1.     Hand write it on 3x5 card.

2.     Always include the Bible reference at the beginning and repeat it again at the end. 

3.     Read it through several times and think about what it means (mediate on it). 

4.     Say it out loud a few times.  

5.     Refer to it throughout the day and say it to yourself (a few words at a time if necessary) until you can say it correctly without looking.
