Bless and Keep You!

The LORD said to Moses, 23 "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

"The LORD bless you and keep you;

the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." '

"So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them." Numbers 6:22-27

 

 

This scripture is a direct blessing from the one and only Almighty God. He delivered this message to Moses

to give to Aaron and the other Levite priests. This particular blessing has been often quoted and spoken over not only the Jewish community of believers through the centuries but is also a promise of blessing to all believers in Jesus Christ.

 

When God sent his son Jesus to walk this earth as the pure and spotless lamb of God to be later sacrificed on behalf of all human beings God's promises and blessings were then opened to us all. It's not just the direct descendants of the Jewish tribes of Israel that benefit, but all who call on the name of Jesus. Everyone blood washed one of us who has put our faith and trust in this Savior who's cross of crucifixion built the bridge to span the gaping ravine of sin in our lives that separated us from God. This selfless act

allows us access to a personal relationship with our merciful and gracious God.

 

Today my friends, if you are saved by the blood of Jesus, I pray this blessing over you.

May the LORD bless and keep you.

May the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

May the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

 

If you have yet to truly put your faith and trust in He who is able, who is gracious, loving and merciful.  He who is all powerful, all knowing, trustworthy and forgiving. I pray this blessing on you as well but to this I add my prayer that you too will find the loving relationship with your Heavenly Father by asking Jesus to be your savior and accepting Him into your heart and your life.
