One of the most well-known and beloved blessings in the Bible is found in Numbers 6:24-26— and it’s one of my favorites and a go to when I need peace and comfort and just because.
The Lord bless you and keep you. This is a prayer for God's favor and protection. He wants to bless us with everything we need to live a good life, and He wants to keep us safe from harm.
The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. This is a prayer for God's presence and favor. When God shines his face on us, it means that He is pleased with us and that He is with us. His grace is undeserved kindness, and it is a gift that He gives us freely.
The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. This is a prayer for God's peace. God's peace is not the same as the absence of trouble. It is a deep inner peace that comes from knowing that God is in control and that He is working everything out for our good.
This blessing is a source of great encouragement for us. It reminds us that God loves us and cares for us deeply. He wants to bless us and keep us safe. He wants to be with us and shine his face on us. And He wants to give us his peace.
