“Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9, 109Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9‑10).
God promises to honor all
Who seek to honor Him;
His precepts are infallible—
Naught can His promise dim.
To honor Him in everything,
His Word, His Name, His Day,
With blessings showered abundantly
He surely will repay.
In “Holding forth the Word of life”
That ever shall endure,
It tells of His redeeming love
Unchangeable and pure.
“Sing forth the honor of His Name”
Who left His throne on high,
And to this world a ransom came,
For us to bleed and die.
To honor with thy substance, too,
By giving to the Lord,
Will meet with richest blessing, and
Will bring a sure reward.
The Lord delights to honor those
That will His Name confess,
And all who choose to put Him first,
The Lord will surely bless.
