In Numbers, chapter six, verse twenty-three, the Lord speaks to Moses and instructs him to tell Aaron and his sons to bless the children with the following words: “The Lord bless, and keep thee. The Lord make His face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift His face countenance upon thee and give thee peace.” These verses twenty-three to twenty-six of the same chapter show God’s gracious response to His people if they maintained purity in the congregation and expressed the kind of heart devotion seen in a Nazarite vow.
“To bless” conveys that God’s presence, activity, and love bring into a person’s life and environment enhances their overall existence. The blessing is before God’s faithful servant under the condition He established. The priestly blessing consists of three parts: The imparts of the sanctification of God and the protection from evil forces, and all that observes one believer’s welfare in life. Sharing the Lord’s face means God’s favor, goodwill, and grace toward the people is the opposite of His anger. The grace of God’s mercy, love, and saving power.
The Lord’s lifting His countenance upon them, such as caring for and giving His blessings to them with heartfelt love. What God gives is “peace.” Peace means being complete so that nothing is lacking. And receiving that is necessary to make life real with hope for the future. The opposite of “peace” is not only a lack of harmony but evil in all its forms. God’s blessing upon the people would result in salvation like a lighted torch to all nations.
Blessing others with love towards our children, family, neighbors, strangers, and even enemies is a big difference in a person’s life. People that are complete in God will always refer to the love and support they received from their family. They will testify that it was not the things they remember but the love they received. We all must bless our people, especially our kids, with positive words like saying things like “you will be great, brilliant, or something of that nature. That is the best thing we can do for a person’s life.
