Praise:
Shabbat's Torah portion includes the Aaronic blessing:
YHWH bless you, and keep [+ guard] you; YHWH make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. YHWH lift up His face [+ presence] on you and give you peace [shalom = health; prosperity; wholeness; +].
(Num. 6:24-26)-
Thank You Abba for this wonderful blessing that was to be pronounced over Your people Israel which resulted in You blessing them through Israel's priesthood (Num. 6:27).
-
God Almighty, as believers grafted into Israel's olive tree, we praise You that this blessing belongs to us as well, both Jew and gentile, through our High Priest, Messiah Yeshua (Heb. 7:25-26).
-
Lord, we rejoice in the assurance of Your presence being with us always (Psa. 139:7; Matt. 28:20b).
-
Lord Yeshua, we thank You that in the midst of the tribulations in this world, we have Your peace – the peace of the One who has already overcome the world (John 14:27; 16:33).
-
Despite all the frustration we experience as we pray into various kingdom of God situations, Lord God we bless You that as we look back – we see how often You have answered us (Psa. 50:15).
