Genesis chapter 48 verses 14 through 16.

And Israel stretched out his hand and laid it on the head of Iphraim, who was the younger,

and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands, for Manassah was the firstborn.

And he blessed Joseph and said the god before whom

my father's Abraham and Isaac walked the god who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day

the angel who has redeemed me from all evil bless the boys and in them let my name be carried on, and name of my fathers, Abraham

and Isaac, and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. I love this picture.

This is Jacob, called Israel here, praying praying over blessing his son and his grandsons you know somebody

asked me the other day like what do you what do you pray for like most in your life and i mean

i don't really know how to answer that question, but one of the things that

immediately came to my mind is I just pray continually. I long to see my children's children,

or my children's children's children, knowing and enjoying and loving and worshiping God.

Like whether I get to see that with my own eyes,

like that would be amazing to see that with my own eyes.

But I trust the Lord with that.

But oh, I pray that,

I pray often for my grandkids, which my kids right now are

11, 10, 7, and 5.

So there's not really any prospect for grandkids at this moment, but I'm praying for them.

And I'm praying for their kids.

I'm praying for my great grandkids.
