Favor and Peace

The daily verse for 6/26 is Numbers 6:26, "May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace."  NLT

This is the third of a three-part blessing the Lord instructed Moses to have Aaron give to the people of Israel.  I don't know about you, but I really love the way the LORD thinks and acts!  I covet His favor and peace and that is how He wraps up this blessing. 

I'm really thankful to be a child of God because that means He also wants to show me His favor and peace, just like He wanted to show the people of Israel.  I have experienced his favor and peace so many times.  I'm not boasting in who I am or anything I have done, but I am boasting about who God is and what He has done.  He is so good and faithful.  He has the amazing power to bless me with His favor and peace.  But I'm no more special than you or anyone else.  He also wants to show you his favor and give you his peace.  Put yourself in the best position to be able to receive that blessing today.  You will be amazed at how much He wants to give it to you.

I'm never going to apologize for telling others how wonderful He is and how He has blessed me.  I hope He never stops giving me new material because I long to live forever in His favor and peace.
