God’s Blessing

Have you received God’s blessing in your life? What does God’s blessing look like?

God desires to bless and to keep his children with his presence and delight, with his graciousness, and with his peace.

In the oldest blessing from the book of Numbers, the fourth book of the Pentateuch, Moses writes this blessing: “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26, ESV).

As this priestly blessing was spoken over the Israelites over thirty-five hundred years ago, may we experience this blessing of God over our own lives.

A Collect for Sabbath Rest: “Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
