Blessing is our Heritage

 Genesis 27-28; Psalms 4, Luke 11 

“…’I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying…All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.”

Genesis 28:13, 14

God’s promises to Abraham were not just for his generation, but for all those who came after him. Jacob was walking, whether he was aware of it or not, in the promises of his grandfather Abraham.

What promises has God given to us that our descendants will also walk in?

Our children are both biological and spiritual. We can be spiritual mothers and fathers to multiple generations of Christ-followers who also walk in the promises of God in their lives. This multi-generational blessing is our witness to the world that God’s covenant ways and promises are true and provide a better way to live.

What blessings and promises are we walking in that were passed on to us by our forefathers?

Have we thanked the Lord for their faithfulness?

“Lord God, I honor you as my forefathers honored you, for your glory.”
