Read Genesis 47–48.
“May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm-may he bless these boys. May they be called by name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac and may they increase greatly on the earth.” (Genesis 48:15–16)
Dear God,
What a beautiful prayer this is. I pray this blessing that Jacob blessed over Joseph over my family and all my intentions today. What a connection we have to the past. To see God’s work and his wisdom come to life is truly amazing. To this present day, God’s work continues. Open my eyes to your work, Father. Open my ears to your direction. Open my heart, God. Give me humility and the room to receive all that you have planned, and give me the boldness to act on it.
I love you, Papa.
