The LORD said to Moses,
“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
“‘“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. ”’
“So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” - Numbers 6: 22-27 NIV
We look for so many blessings, but do we look for the one true blessing that makes the whole of our life better, the one that raises our head? That can only be the blessing that comes when the Lord makes his face to shine upon us, when he is gracious to us, when he turns his face to us and gives us peace. No other blessing, nothing else that we would ask for compares to having God's face directed at us. Earthly outcomes no longer matter when we bask in the presence of his love.
