By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.
By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff.
By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones (Hebrews 11:20-22 NASV).
 
No doubt the faith of Abraham was impressed upon Isaac as he was about to be offered as a sacrifice. I believe Isaac never forgot the promise that the Lord would provide the sacrifice. Isaac passed this on to his sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob passed it on to the sons of Joseph and his own sons. Joseph passed it on to the Israelite nation.
 
Your faith, even though it be as small as a mustard seed (Mt. 17:20), will follow the same progression:
  • First your self, then your children, then their children, and then the nation.
  • First Jerusalem, then Judea, then Samaria, then the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8).
  • First yourself, your children, your children's children, those afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (Acts 2:39).
Take heart and cling tenaciously to your faith, it is a vital living force that will reproduce and bear much fruit for the kingdom.
 
Humor
Hail to our chief! Here's one of his quotes that he would probably like to have back.
"I think we agree, the past is over."
On his meeting with John McCain, Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2000
(Personally, as long as he shows resolve as he did when he cut abortion education funding, he can do anything he wants with the English language. The crux is not how well a man speaks, but if you can believe what he's saying.)

Keep Looking Up!
