Blessed and Kept in Grace and Peace

Read Numbers 6:24-26
Today’s Truth
What an awesome prayer of blessing. This is what the priest would pray over God’s people. And it’s picked up at different points in Scripture. One of my favorite Psalms, Psalm 57 basically recounts this. “May God be gracious to you and bless you, cause his face to shine upon you, so that his ways may be known on earth and his saving power known among all nations.”
 
Just think about this picture of God blessing us, keeping us, holding on to us, causing his face to shine upon us. Just get that image in your mind, for the God of the universe to cause his face to shine, to smile upon you and your life, his favor to be yours, his grace to be yours, which makes obvious sense because we don’t deserve this from God.
Discussion Questions
• How do you respond to God’s undeserved grace?
 
• What in this prayer speaks to you?
 
• What does it mean to live in the peace of God?
Application
This passage beckons a confident comfort for followers of Christ. We are blessed and kept by God. He is gracious to us and has given us His peace.
