His seed shall inherit the earth. 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 men willfully refuse to receive it; moreover, it is in its spiritual meaning that it now holds good; our spiritual seed 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, for the Lord will make each one of them princes in all the earth. --Spurgeon Also, “’inherit the land’ means that ‘unlike the wicked, who will perish (Psalm 1:6), the godly have a secure future. In the end, God will bless them, and their blessings will endure (Psalm 37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34; Isaiah 57:13; Matthew 5:5)’” – NLT PARALLEL STUDY BIBLE, page 929.
