Numbers 6:24-26 states The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. This priestly blessing reminds us that we are under the almighty protection of God. To enjoy his favor as the smile of a loving father while he mercifully forgives our sins, supplies our wants consoles the heart, and prepares us by his grace for eternal glory.
