Tell The Story

 Scripture:

“Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭48‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

After they were reunited, Jacob told Joseph that the Lord God Almighty had appeared to him at Luz and there the Lord BLESSED him. Part of that blessing followed in the next verse which says that  he would be fruitful and multiply and increase in numbers. He told his son about the blessing of God on his life. He passed to the next generation the story of his blessing.

Application:

It is an incredible thing to be BLESSED by the Lord! When He blesses something, it will prosper and be productive. Jacob not only received a blessing directly from God, but he told his sons about his blessing. He told the story of how the Lord blessed him. When God blesses our lives, we must pass the story to the next generation. They must know that God is good and that He blesses His people. We, as children of Abraham, inherit that very same blessing. Now we must tell the story.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for blessing my life. Thank You for taking care of me all these years. You are truly faithful! Help me to be a good storyteller to my children and their children. I am good at telling Your stories to the world, but help me be better at telling the stories to my own children and their families.Your faithfulness to me is incredible. Help me to tell the story well to my generations.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
