Psalm 102:28
The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
The Christian faith is covenantal and generational. It is meant to provide security and comfort to parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren.
Psalm 103:17-18
But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.
Those who keep covenant have every reason to expect their children to do the same. A father preaches to his great grandchildren by teaching his children to teach their children to teach their children.
Isaiah 65:22b-23
My chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their descendants with them.
We should expect our covenant keeping to produce covenant keeping offspring who produce offspring who keep covenant. Descendants flow downstream from the fountainhead and by grace and through faith in keeping God's covenant, He promises thousands of generations to overflow in an unbroken succession of blessing to those who honor His Name.
