The Gift of Peace (part 2)

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)


Words given by God to Moses. Moses was commissioned by God to speak these words to Aaron and his sons. This is one of my favorite verses. Let’s look at the various parts of it.


The Lord bless you and keep you


God chooses to bless us, His children, and to keep us safe because He loves us.


The Lord make His face shine upon you


When God looks down on us, His children, He desires to be delighted in what He sees going on in our lives.


The Lord lift up His countenance upon you


God watches what we do as we go through our days. Nothing we do or say gets by Him: He sees all and hears each word we utter.


And give you peace.


God gives each of us, His children, peace in our hearts. While we pray for peace for our world; He chooses to grant each of us peace in our hearts.
