We Are Blessed

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. - Number 6:24-26

After the Israelites escaped out of Egypt and the tabernacle was built, God gave Moses specific instructions, written above, regarding how the priests were to bless the Israelites. He wanted each and every one of them to know that God was there for them and would bless them. This wasn't something just relevant to the Israelites. This phrase still rings true and is still said by priests all over the world when blessing their congregations. We ought to remember this when we focus on prayer that God, indeed, does hear our earnest desires and seeks to bless us, keep us, and give us peace.
