Say to them: \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace<\/span>.\u201d \u201cSo they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.\u201d\u201d<\/em> How does this blessing speak to you today? Have you heard this blessing prayed aloud before? Can you imagine this ancient blessing that has been prayed innumerable times in history being prayed over you today? Take a few moments to really meditate upon the 3 sections of the blessing. Do you notice that each section begins with God\u2019s name? Do you believe that God can indeed bless you and keep you (favor &amp; protect you)? That he can indeed make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you (be pleased &amp; be merciful and compassionate to you)? And do you believe that God can indeed turn his face toward you and give you peace (give approval &amp; peace to you)? It is also of note that this blessing \u201cput God\u2019s name on the Israelites and they were blessed.\u201d Do you believe that God\u2019s name is upon you today? Do you want God\u2019s name to be upon you today?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em\"><strong>Worship Video:<\/strong> Based on reading the Aaronic blessing today in Numbers, here\u2019s the blessing sung\u00a0as a duet.\u00a0 Beautiful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/span><br \/>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MQNZs7preGw<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em\">Has the Lord blessed you?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em\">Click here to be kept forever!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em\"><strong>Please join us in memorizing and meditating on three verses of Scripture today:<\/strong> <em>\u201c\u201dThe LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.\u201d<\/em> Numbers 6:24-26 NIV<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.2em\"><strong>Prayer Point:<\/strong> Pray that God will bless you and keep you.
