Bless our Families

By an act of faith, Isaac reached into the future as he blessed Jacob and Esau. Hebrews 11:20 (The Message)

Isaac’s father Abraham, believed in the promises of God. Now at the end of Isaac’s life we find the same faith in Isaac… a faith he shares with his two sons.

Isaac shared with his boys the covenant of God. He shared with them the importance of walking with God and Isaac prayed with them… blessed them.

In this earthly life what is more important than family? In a maddening world that we occupy families should stick together, help one another, prayer for one another, and bless one another.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Time and inattention… distance and unfamiliarity have each taken their toll… and some families have a shaky future before them.

Yet, like the families of Jacob and Esau God has a purpose… a plan; good plans with a good future and marked with hope (Jeremiah 29:11)

Regardless of the strain in a relationship… regardless of the hurt… God cares and he works in our families because God loves families. He’s our Heavenly Father and the Father gives our families not a curse… but a blessing!

May we each be a blessing and bless our families today!
