Numbers 6, Numbers 10:
The priestly blessing is so beautiful – but let’s read it in a familiar text ❤
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
Blessing and keeping, smiles and grace and peace….. God doesn’t only want to bless us and give us peace on our journey with Him – He wants to KEEP us: keep us healthy, keep us close, keep us in relationship…. Everything He does is be in relationship with us, and that is such a comfort.
Here’s another favorite from today:
“they began their march at the command of God” (Numbers 10:13 MSG)
What a great beginning to any journey!
I was surprised to read that Moses begged Hobab to set out and travel with them and give advice on where to camp. Knowing Moses spoke with the Lord and the cloud being present in the Lord why would he depend on his brother in law. Was it to have a human counterpart to reassure himself in? Someone to lean on during hard times? Just another love body to sit and talk with? The Lord did say blow the trumpet and i will be there. He has blessed Moses this far. So many questions and very interesting.
