"May the Lord bless you and keep you ! May the Lord make his face shine on you and grant you his grace ! May Yahweh raise up his face to you and give you peace !" Numbers 6: 24-26
We must say words of blessing on people. We must resurrect those of Numbers 6: 24-26 : "May the Lord bless you and keep you, and let the Lord make his face shine upon you, and grant you his grace : let the Lord raise up his face to you, and give you the peace !"
When you are rooted in God's love, it helps you to stand firm in your faith and walk in obedience to your word.
Think about it : every time you smile at someone, you say : "I approve of you, I accept you, you are cool."
God does not just approve you, he smiles at you. He loves you! You must anchor this truth deep in your heart to the point that nothing can tear it away.
When you are rooted in God's love, it helps you to stand firm in your faith and walk in obedience to your word. But you can never get ahead of God by trying to do good works by yourself.
You must know the word in order to know who you are in Christ. In Psalm 18:20, David says : "The Lord has taken me to heart." David was not perfect but he knew that God took pleasure in him.
God also takes pleasure in you. Anchor this truth deep down in your being. God smiles on you and he loves you so much. God approves you !
A prayer for today
God, thank you from the bottom of your heart for your love and your approval. Thank you for smiling. Your love has changed my life and I know it will continue as I grow up with you.
