PROMISE #19 - JANUARY 19
Promise #19:
I will bless your life and keep watch over you always.
Numbers 6:24 (WEB)
‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
God instructed Moses to pray a special prayer of blessing over the Israelites daily. It is an often quoted blessing and one of my favorite ones in the Bible. Numbers 6:24-27... 24 ‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you. 25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. 26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’ 27 “So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” (WEB)
In today's promise, we are focusing on the first line of this priestly blessing to God's people. The Amplified Bible says Numbers 6:24 this way... The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; (AMP) The New Living Translation Bible says it this way... ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. (NLT)
Whatever version of the Bible you prefer, the message is the same. The Lord's heart is to bless and watch over you in all your ways. Like a mother hen broods over her chicks, our God watches over us with His mighty, ferocious, protective love. May everyone know of His nearness today and His desire to bless us in all we do.
***
Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for always watching over me and continually blessing me with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. Help me realize that your mighty, ferocious, protective love is with me today no matter what comes my way simply because you are a good Father who loves to bless His children.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will bless your life and keep watch over you always.
