Our family’s daily devotion always centers around the YouVersion Bible App. Yesterday’s verse emphasized the significance of entering the narrow gate, a path less traveled, in contrast to the broad road that leads to destruction.
Today’s verse, 2 Corinthians 9:8, offers a powerful message. The Good News Translation (GNT) version reads, “And God is capable of providing more than you require, ensuring you always have enough for yourselves and an abundance for every good cause.”
In the New King James (NKJ) version, it says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you so that you may always have sufficiency in all things and have an abundance for every good work.”
Reflecting on yesterday’s verse, we discover the essence of life – seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Today’s verse highlights the incredible things God can help us achieve. He can provide more than enough, not just for ourselves but also for those in need, allowing us to live a spiritually, physically, and health-wise abundant life.
To live this overflowing life, we must first acknowledge that God has the power to make it happen. Second, we must understand that God desires to bless us in this way. Third, we should have faith and ask God for His blessings on our work. Fourth, we should expect God to answer our prayers, and lastly, we should cultivate an abundance mindset.
