A Just Share

Genesis 27: 28

​Isaac’s blessing on Jacob…

May God give you of heaven’s dew

and of earth’s richness

an abundance of grain and new wine. 

​For the Hebrew people the words of blessing were seen as a prophetic act. To bless the children and grandchildren is to invite God to act in their lives for their good and for the shaping of their character within the people of God.  Taking our cue from the blessings mentioned in Hebrews 11: 2-18 we will bless the next generation.

 

Father, across the world

children are born to die too early

one clean drink away from health

one cheap injection away from life

if only…..

Bless the children of…....................

that they may receive a just share

of this rich world’s resources

and have enough to live well.
