We do our part, by reading the Word to learn and adopt this mindset of huge respect for God and His Word. Then, once we’ve done our part by reverencing God, God always does His part by fulfilling these terrific verses that have such a positive impact on any and all who live them.  We reverence, then God blesses, fulfills, and upholds.

God bless,
