Psalms 103:17-18

Psalms 103:17-18. And his righteousness unto children’s children: to such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

Let us bless God for his love to our sons and our daughters. Some of us have great joy in our children, I pray that all of you may have the same joy, - that you may see that the Lord, who is your God, is also the God of your descendants, as the God of Abraham was the God of Isaac, and of Jacob, and of Joseph, and of Ephraim and Manasseh, from generation to generation. Grace does not run in the blood, but it often runs side by side with it. It is often the way with God, when he has blessed the father, to bless the son for the father’s sake, so you, who are yourselves believers may pray with great confidence for your sons and daughters. Bless the Lord for this.
