Manna for Your Morning

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: Yahweh bless you, and keep you; Yahweh make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; Yahweh lift up His face on you, and give you peace.’ — Numbers 6:22-26 (LSB) Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood; Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever. Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:10-11 LSB) Our heavenly Father is rich in grace and has a heart to bless His people. And our greatest blessing is His Presence with us. Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) says: …whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience], who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.

(Psalm 29:11 NLT) We are surrounded by His lovingkindness. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. — Psalm 23:6  (NLT)
