"The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His
face shine upon you,
And be gracious to
you;
The Lord lift up
His countenance
upon you, And give you
peace."
Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
God spoke the words
of this blessing in the book of Numbers to Moses, then instructed
Aaron the high priest to use this declaration to bless the
Israelites. Moses recorded this benediction for every generation.
Centuries
later, Luke 9 tells us that Moses and Elijah met Jesus on the Mount
of Transfiguration to encourage Him as he prepared for His coming
crucifixion. What more inspiring and powerful words could Moses
possibly speak to Jesus, our High Priest, than the
Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. These
words originally came from the Lord God, Himself. I wouldn't be
surprised if Moses repeated these same words to Jesus on the mountain.
There's no better way to bless and encourage our family and friends
than to bless them with these words from God Himself.
Lord, show me someone today who needs words of
encouragement from Your Holy Word.
“Let the words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in
Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14 NKJV
