Ageless Benevolence
"By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff." (Hebrews 11:21 NKJV) Promises from a man are limited by the mortality of the promise maker. Even with utmost sincerity, the fulfillment of promises from man is not guaranteed. However, the patriarch like Isaac, Jacob and Joseph had no doubt about the promises received from God, even on their dying beds. Since acquisition of God's promises is ageless, the benevolence of God is continuously replicated in a man of faith. Faith extends ageless benevolence to future generation with the generosity of a genuine benefactor.
