Promises
by
Barbara Philbrook
Promises
are vows that someone else makes to you,
giving their word of something they will do.
God has
made promises to cover our every need,
you can lay claim to them and then with your thanks
proceed.
You know
you will be getting your answer there is no doubt,
God made the promise and He will carry it out.
There are
promises to cover anger, gossip, pride and trust,
ones covering guilt, lying, shame and lust.
Promises
to provide food and clothing,
a promise to feel love for others not loathing.
Promises
to help you know you are forgiven of sin,
and ones to prevent self righteousness from moving in.
Promises
so I will live my life honestly,
and even God's promise to give me humility.
Promises
to give faith and to overcome fear,
and promises that the Holy Spirit is always near.
Courage,
contentment and comfort all three,
and of course there is the ever famous one know as
Charity.
Promises
to grow in grace, hope and joy,
and one to overcome laziness so others we don't annoy.
Sickness,
loneliness, righteousness and success,
each of these has it's own degree of happiness.
There are
others more than I've named here,
God wants you to seek in the Bible you'll find them in
there.
Promises,
all made for and available to you,
call on God then believe to receive is all that you do.
