In
Biblical days, Fathers would give a special blessing to their children and a
special blessing to the firstborn son.
It is a practice that is still followed in some cultures. Some today see the legacy as that
blessing. Men, what legacy of blessing
are you leaving your children? As we
continue our study in Genesis, we see God speaking to Isaac. The blessing of God comes upon Isaac because
of the faithfulness of his father, Abraham.
We need to make sure that our legacy is more than what the world tells
us we need to leave them. Our legacy to
our children should be a legacy of faith; of a life lived for God as an example
to them so that they not only hear about our faith, but see our faith played
out before them in our homes. We are to
lead, nurture and lovingly admonish them in the Lord. It isn’t enough just to provide for their
physical wellbeing. God has established
us as the head of our families and as the leader, we need to provide them
spiritual guidance as well. A claim of
faith without a walk of faith will breed rebellion. Let’s walk with integrity.
