To each of us you have given a measure of faith to do all we were called to do in this life.
Sometimes as parents we feel we are always making mistakes as trends of the times dictate what the world feels we ought to be doing for our children.
Yet, as I read the FAITH book of Hebrews 11 -- I see the example of Abraham's blessings reaching down MANY GENERATIONS; first to his son Isaac, then to Isaac's sons Jacob and Esau, and on Abraham's death bed he bles...sed his long lost great-grandson Joseph (who had been discarded by siblings years before and became the COME BACK FAMILY HERO) and Jacob even was able to bless Joseph's sons!
Help us in each our own families never to judge or discard one another, help us to live blessing our own seed and being blessed by them knowing you have a special individual purpose and plan for each human life in our circle.
For the benefit of future generations please forgive any divisions that now exists in our family relationships and bring blessings along with a new measure of love and confidence for one another into our hearts and homes this day.
In Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen
Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested [that is, as the testing of his faith was still in progress], [b]offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises [of God] was ready to sacrifice his only son [of promise]; 18 to whom it was said, “Through Isaac your descendants shall be called.” 19 For he considered [it reasonable to believe] that God was able to raise Isaac even from among the dead. [Indeed, in the sense that he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God] Abraham did receive him back [from the dead] figuratively speaking. 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau [believing what God revealed to him], even regarding things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship, leaning on the top of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, referred to [the promise of God for] the exodus of the sons of Israel [from Egypt], and gave instructions concerning [the burial of] his bones [in the land of the promise].
Romans 12:3 For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service].
