It’s a benediction…words of blessing that come at the end of these emails each day. It is from the Word of God and you will see the full blessing below. Perhaps you’ve heard these words put to music. That was how they first entered my mind as a child, through a song sung at the end of every worship service.

Not only is this benediction my prayer for you, it is God’s great desire to extend it to those who belong to Him by faith in His Son, Jesus. You would benefit greatly by doing further study into the richness of these words…His words…which I strongly encourage you to do.

Numbers 6:24-26

24 The LORD bless you, and keep you; 25 The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.

“According to Matthew Henry, this blessing communicates the heart of God in its promise to protect His people from evil (2 Thessalonians 3:3), pardon them from their sin (Micah 7:18), and provide peace in the midst of chaos (Philippians 4:7).” ~ Joel Ryan

The Lord bless you and keep you…
