These are familiar words – the words of blessing that Moses instructed the priests to use for the people of Israel. I’m thinking today of how the face of the Lord affects His children. We read of the Lord’s face shining upon us and of the Lord turning His face toward us. What was the final result? Peace! Isn’t that the way it is? If we know that the Lord is looking at us it makes a big difference. And if we sense that His face is shining upon us it means that He loves us. He’s looking at us with love. Doesn’t that bring peace to our hearts?

“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.” Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV)
