Your amazing faith and faithfulness to God will bless your children and your children’s children. When God establishes blessing, it continues to bless the line of the faithful. We see this so clearly with David and Solomon.
David was dearly loved by God. So much so that God blessed Solomon in a way that no other person has ever been blessed. He granted Solomon anything that he asked for. This came directly from the blessing that came from David. Solomon said to God, You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You. You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, (1King 3:6)
Again in Isaiah, God says: I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring. (Isa 44:3)
This is a wonderful heritage to give to your children. The blessing seems to be as great to the children as it is to the parent. However, the children are responsible to walk worthy before God. Solomon’s blessing was not continued when he failed to live faithfully. But if faithfulness is maintained, there’s no reason for that blessing to not go on forever!
