SCRIPTURE
Numbers 6:22-27 Old Testament
This is one of my favorite Old Testament scriptures and is a benediction. What? A benediction is not simply a ritualistic closing and blessing; it's a genuine prayerful wish for God's goodness to follow a person or a group of people. Aaron recited this to the Israelites during the exodus.
I won't cite it here, but please look it up. It's beautiful and very comforting. The Lord God said to Moses to tell Aaron, the first high priest and elder brother of Moses, and God's appointed helper to Moses, to offer this blessing. It is also one of the scriptures written in another section of this blog, "My favorite scriptures."
LESSONS AND THEMES
Prayerful blessing for God's care and that we are seen and known by Him. Also, for God's peace that surpasses all understanding and guides our hearts and minds. The blessing asks for God's protection, grace, and acknowledges His sovereignty over us and all creation. This is a good one to put to memory and it's very important to me, Grandma.
