Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:4

It really is not at all important that you know much about me, but it is really important that you know Jesus Christ.............. I mean, really know Jesus, so much so that you have accepted the gift of salvation that He wants to give you.................. If you do not have this kind of relationship with Jesus yet, please click on my photo above and you will be linked to my profile, there you will find several other blogs that I write.... Go to the Blog entitled "How to be sure you are saved" .......... My desire is simply this, to provide the Word of God as a devotional. The studies are (and will continue to be) rich in scripture while my own personal comments are minimal. I pray for God to lead us as to what we will study each time. We invite you to study and pray together with us........... May God richly bless each and everyone who comes here to study and pray together.

Promises for our Children

The first promises here are for having children, then there are promises for the benefit of the children, our sons and daughters.

"He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb" (Deuteronomy 7:13).

"And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body" (Deuteronomy 30:9).

"Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth" (Job 5:25).

"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate" (Psalm 127:3-5).

"The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children" (Psalm 115:14).

Promises for the benefit of our sons and daughters.
"Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!" (Deuteronomy 4:40; 5:29).

"A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just" (Proverbs 13:22).

"In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26).

"The seed of the righteous shall be delivered" (Proverbs 11:21).

"The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him" (Proverbs 20:7).

"The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee." (Psalm 102:28).

"His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed" (Psalm 112:2).

"His seed shall inherit the earth" (Psalm 25:13).

"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed" (Psalm 37:25, 26).

"He hath blessed thy children within thee" (Psalm 147:13).

"I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them" (Jeremiah 32:39).

Then there is this wonderful prophecy .
Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
