The Mizpah, a famous blessing found in Genesis, was spoken between Jacob and Laban, his father-in-law:
'May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other.' [Genesis 32:49]
Get this...the Hebrew word 'mizpah' means watchtower! The words formed an eternal watchtower! The words did the watching between Jacob and Laban!
I know I'm using a lot of exclamation points, but this is REALLY BIG!
The WORDS were the watchtower!!!!
Dabar
Remember the Hebrew word for 'word'...dabar? It is also translated as 'thing.' The word, spoken in faith, IS the thing.
Think about it...
