Numbers 6:24-26
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.
What a great blessing for us to pray over each other every day. When we think of our friends and loved ones, this is really what we want for them each day. We know that they won't have that peace unless they are in a personal relationship with the Lord.
When we are blessed by God then we have His favor upon us. When He keeps us, that is a sign of the closeness that we have with Him. He wants to draw us near to Him and protect us. If we are close to God, then we know we will feel His face shining upon us simply because He is the light of the world. God loves us and wants what is best for us. He will give us the greatest sense of peace we will ever have. Ever.
Perhaps we should go back to the old testament and use this blessing as part of of our prayer life every day.
