Saying A Prayer
When I kneel down
To say my prayer
Each word goes climbing
Up a stair
Of wind and air
To where
God sits
And listens and rejoices
In little children’s thoughts
And voices.

The Promises of Abraham
Many people today want to be rich, or at least well off, so to speak. But, what has God promised his people? Are they to have an inheritance on earth as they do in heaven? Well the Bible says they do, but like any promise in God’s word it is based on your faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible says, if you belong to Jesus, then you are Abraham’s children, and the blessings that God gave to Abraham are yours as well. It is written in the Holy Bible, “Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham”
“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise”
“That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith”, {Galations 3 v 7 – 29- 14}.
So what are the promises of Abraham that we may be blessed as he was? Well, if we look in the book of Genesis Chapter 17, we find what God promised him — “ I am the Almighty God – walk before me and be thou perfect, and I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly – – and I will make thee exceeding fruitful” So you see, God is Almighty, and if we follow Jesus by obeying his word, living the very best that we can, then God will multiply you in everything and make you fruitful in every way.
Now, that’s his promise to you, “For he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”{Ephesians 3 v 20}.
For as it is written in the Holy Bible, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you,” {Matthew 6 v 33}.
