Genesis 32:12 I Will Surely Do Thee Good

Genesis 32:12 (KJV) And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

This was Jacob’s prayer to the LORD when he returned to Canaan and was about to meet with his brother Esau.

Genesis 32:9-11 (KJV) And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.

Affirming the covenant that God made with his grandfather Abraham and father Isaac, he invoked the promise of God. This was the promise from the LORD, “I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.” Amen.
