13. His soul shall dwell at ease. He who
fears God has nothing else to fear. Like a warrior whose battles are over, his
soul will take its ease, and be merry for ever. His seed shall inherit theearth. God remembers Isaac for the sake of Abraham, and Jacob for the sake
of Isaac. Good men’s sons have a goodly portion to begin the world with, but
many of them, alas, turn a father’s blessing into a curse. The promise is not
broken because in some instances people willfully refuse to receive it;
moreover, it is in its spiritual meaning that it now holds good; our spiritual
offspring do inherit all that was meant by the earth, or Canaan; they
receive the blessing of the new covenant. May the Lord make us the joyful
parents of many spiritual children, and we shall have no fears about their
maintenance.
