Genesis 48:11

Observe how Jacob refers all mercies into GOD'S gift. Reader are you a partaker of divine grace? Are you a parent also? And have you a well-grounded hope that any of your offspring are partakers of divine grace? And is there nothing in this expression of the Patriarch's, suited to your case? Can you not say, I had not thought that I should have been brought into the bonds of the covenant being so utterly unworthy: and yet GOD hath showed me my seed also in the mercy? Romans 11:33.
