So Isaac called for Jacob and he blessed him… (Genesis 28:11).
Isaac blessed Jacob once when he was deceived by Rebekah and Jacob, but here he blesses him again knowing full well that it is Jacob that he is blessing. He starts his blessing with these words: “May God Almighty bless you.”
Later God Himself appears to Jacob to affirm this blessing that Isaac has asked for. Notice how God says He will be the One pouring out the blessing: “I am the Lord … I will give you this land … I will be with you … I will bring you back … I will not leave you” (vv. 13-15).
The blessing by Jacob’s Heavenly Father was initiated by the blessing of his earthly father.
It is important for fathers to bless their children, as this puts them in a place to receive God’s blessing. In the Greek, the word bless means “good words.” So Dad,
- Say good words to your children
- Say good words about your children to others
- Say good words about your children to their Heavenly Father
Don’t ever let your children wonder what God’s blessings are like. Let them know from your blessings what sort of blessings God wants to pour out on them.
