October 3, 2021 -- Numbers 6:24-27 -- Walking in showers of blessings
/Dearly loved by the Father, in the power of the Spirit: Sh'ma ~ hear and obey Jesus!
24 The LORD bless you and keep you;
25 the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
27 “So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”
Numbers 6:22-27 ESV
Today is Sunday. Get to church live-link church or Zoom into a service. Savor the blessings of the LORD. The blessing of the LORD consists in the fact that He has chosen people for Himself in love (Ephesians 1:3-4). The Word of God makes known to us the mystery of His will (Ephesians 1:8). The blessing of the LORD, consists in the fact that once we were not a people, but now we are the people of God, given the beautiful gift of belonging. This is the glorious promise of blessing given to Abraham and those who are grafted into the family of Abraham through his seed, our Lord Jesus Christ.
The blessing of the LORD consists in the fact that by His Spirit He will guard you in this great and wonderful salvation until Jesus returns. We are prone to wander. We are likely to throw off all these rich blessings because we are so infantile. Like the faithful Father He Is, God gives to us His Spirit so that sin is restrained, so that our lusts desires and taste for sin change to the point that former sins become repugnant to us.
Dearest family in Jesus Christ, this is the briefest glimpse of the blessings which the LORD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, pour out on us, His people. Delight in Him. Worship Him. Give thanks with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Teach others of the blessedness that comes to all who are in Christ.
Oh, the depths of he riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments ad how inscrutable His ways!
For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been His counselor?
Or who has given a gift to Him
that he might be repaid?
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
Romans 11:33-36 ESV
