“May you see your children’s children!” (Psalm 128:6 ESV).
One of the many promised blessings for the one who would fear the Lord and walk in His ways is living to see one’s grandchildren. Those who have experienced this blessing know its abiding joy.
Yet in Christ, this blessing is available to all who would believe in Him and be obedient to make disciples as He commanded. For in disciple-making, both the married and the single can become spiritual fathers and mothers. And by raising up spiritual children to be disciple-makers too, spiritual grandchildren and great-grandchildren are soon to follow.
PRAYER: Dear Father, give us the blessing of seeing our children’s children. Strengthen us to give them our testimony of You, so that they might believe and follow You too. Help us to pass on the faith that our fathers passed to us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
