20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.
i. “The Holy Spirit in this chapter selects out of good men’s lives the most brilliant instances of their faith. I should hardly have expected that he would have mentioned the dying scene of Joseph’s life as the most illustrious proof of his faith in God . . . Does not this tell us, dear brethren and sisters, that we are very poor judges of what God will most delight in?” (Spurgeon)
What will our faith say about us?
"Your faith", if a book was written about faith, what would be the last words inscribed about you?
Most importantly, what about our faith will God most delight in?
God said of David, Acts 13:22 "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;..."
May God say that about you and delight in you also!
Blessings, David
