"By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come" (Heb 11:20).
Faith helps us to not only receive blessings but also to be a blessing to others. "By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau." Here Jacob stands for saints and Esau, for sinners. Faith helps us to become a blessing to both saints and sinners. Paul says we are a sweet savour unto God (a blessing), to them that are saved and to them that perish. Faith helps us, not only to receive blessings, but also to give blessings to others.

"Concerning things to come" - Faith has a clear sight, a foresight of the future. Those who look at the future through faith, look to the future blessings also; they have the blessings of the future, not a fear of the future. Unless we see future blessings for ourselves, we will not see future blessings for others.
Some people are always worried about future problems; they have a fear of the future. Such cannot receive any blessing or become a blessing. About the bride of Christ it is written, "She rejoices over the future" (Prov 31:25 Amp). A child of God who has faith has no fear of the future; only joy concerning the future.
Leave your worries at the Lord's feet and rejoice over your glorious future.
"I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jer 29:11).
