"May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples. May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham" Genesis 28:3-4 (NIV)

After Isaac had already blessed Jacob, as he gets ready to leave home he now blesses him again with the blessings of Abraham. The blessings God had given to Abraham, and then to Isaac would now be passed to Jacob. Jacob would become a great nation and God would bless him. He would become famous in the land and would be a blessing to many. God would bless those who blessed Jacob and curse those who came against him, and eventually through him all the families of the earth would be blessed as Jesus came forth into the earth. The blessing changed Jacob's life!

The blessings of Abraham that were passed to Jacob by Isaac are today passed to all believers by Jesus Christ. God is ready to make us great upon this earth, blessing all we put our hands to! He is ready to make us a blessing to others! God will bless those who bless us and God will rise up and fight for us when the enemy comes against us! And, as we go forth in the Great Commission Jesus gave us, all families of the earth will be blessed! The blessings of Abraham have been given to us, not because we deserve them, but because of Jesus Christ! Know today that you are blessed if you follow Jesus! Charles Spurgeon said, "There is no more blessed way of living, than the life of faith based upon a covenant-keeping God - to know that we have no care, for He cares for us; that we need have no fear, except to fear Him; that we need have no troubles, because we have cast our burdens upon the Lord, and are conscience that He will sustain us."
