“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” - Numbers 6v24-26
God gave the priests a blessing to pass on to the people. God keeps reminding us about His grace in the midst of His laws and instructions. Here He spells out a specific blessing.
· The Lord bless you
· Keep you
· Make His face to shine on you
· Be gracious to you
· Look with favour on you
· And give you peace
God knew that the nation of Israel was going to go through many trial and testing during their history. He never made a promise to stop those trials. He did however provide a way for them to have peace no matter what their circumstances.
True peace comes as a blessing from God. It comes as He keeps us, lets us see His face, shows us grace, and looks with favour on us. Peace is not dependent on circumstances; it is not dependent on us manipulating our situation. It is a result of us learning to depend on God’s blessings and seeking to live with His face shining on us and looking to His grace.
Remember today that as child of God was can depend on His grace daily to give us His perfect peace.
